Trail Overview

Bear Trap Cave is one of many lave caves located in southeast Idaho. This trail begins from Coffee Point and winds southwest across the desert to the Bear Trap cave. It is a relatively easy-going trail, with a mostly dirt road that is only challenging in snow or mud. There are plenty of scenic opportunities along this trail, with many offshoots and side trails that can be explored. Ensure you have a full gas tank, as this can become quite a long adventure, especially if snow and the road drifts. This route makes an excellent winter snow run early on before it is too deep.

It was very fun and scenic, there was definitely more snow than expected which made it a little challenging in places but it was a great!
