Lovelock Cave

It was off the beater path but very easy to get to even by a low profile car. There was a half mile hiking trail that was clearly visible and marked. Make sure you bring a flashlight. A phone wasn’t enough candles to light the cave. It’s rocky so where good shoes with grip

Interesting site given the indian history of it also very scenic and there was an owl up in one of the rock alcoves. Doesn't take long to see and is not far off the highway. The nature guide brochure is informative. Interesting geology.

Definitely worth the drive to check it out in person! Especially considering the fact it was very hot the day we visited (in the mid-90’s) but merely stepping in front of one of the cave’s openings felt like being blasted by an industrial strength air conditioner! Not to mention the amazing Native American history of the place.

I watched something on TV about this and I love it. I will be back to show my daughter when we pass through on our way to Utah. Aww such a terrific spot to explore.

So... this was less than exciting but I highly recommend it. For me, it was the perfect little adventure with a bunch of little kids. It was quite a drive and a nice little hike. The thing that bothers me is that there were giants found in these caves and their remains were on display in a nearby museum, decades ago. Tired of being attacked by these giants, the local natives caused them to be trapped here and then burned them, there's char stains from a huge fire still all throughout the cave, though there's mention of why anywhere. For some reason, even their pamphlets say the whole thing was "legend".

It was a pretty neat place to visit. As we were leaving, we saw a rattlesnake 😬 going across the road(towards the cave's side). It was missing its rattles. So pay attention to where you're stepping.

As someone who has been researching history for decades it was a treat to go to a place where American Indians and giants had a stand off. Very humbling. If you are into this sort of stuff go check it out. The entire area is awesome. Just imagine what the world was like only a few hundred years ago. You can still see the burn marks in the cave where the Indians lit the fires. Just amazing. Nothing like now. There was a nice a bathroom there and some small trails you could also hike on.
