Hike Wind Caves Trail

Itinerary tips

• 1Plan for a 3-mile round trip that typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours including exploration of the limestone arches.
• 2Pack plenty of water and wear shoes with good traction, as the 700-foot elevation gain is steady and the trail can be dusty.
• 3Locate the trailhead directly across from the Malibu-Guinavah Campground in Logan Canyon, about 7 miles from the canyon entrance.
• 4Arrive early on weekends to secure a spot in the small roadside parking lot, as no formal permits are required but space is limited.
• 5Bring a wide-angle lens or a camera with a panoramic setting to capture the internal structure of the triple-arch caves against the canyon backdrop.
• 6Watch for rattlesnakes on the rocky, sun-exposed switchbacks during the warmer summer months.
