Fulford Cave

The cave is closed from October 15 - April 15 annually. Requirements include mandatory on-line registration and decontamination of gear and clothes.

The Fulford Cave trail begins near the Fulford Cave Campground and ends at the cave. This short trail runs through aspen and spruce/fir forest leading up to the entrance of Fulford Cave, with a number of switchbacks to accommodate the rise in elevation. Please do not cut the switchbacks. At the top portion of the trail, there are scenic views of Yeoman Park. This popular cave has a great variety of features to discover and explore. Cave exploration can be exciting, but visitors are reminded that caves can be dangerous and that special equipment is needed for a safe trip.
