FINDING THE TRAILHEAD
There is a small parking area (3-4 vehicles only) the south side of Hwy 179, between Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek. This parking area is just south of Poco Diablo Resort.
From the parking area an easy .5 mile trail leads first to an overlook above the creek, then down a steep break in the cliffs to the water below. The caves are easy to miss if you're not looking for them. They're on the right side as the trail descends.
