Garden Of The Gods - Whiskey Cave Loop

The most difficult and longest of my hikes here. The All-Trail App says this is a 6.5-mile hike, but you can shorten it by starting the trail where it crosses the Shawnee Forest Road by 2.5 miles. There is even a tiny parking place next to the trail.

The trail runs close to the rock cliff.




Like Buzzard's Roost, Whiskey Cave is a campsite for equestrian riders with a cable to tie their horses.




  We started our hike around 10 a.m., but it was afternoon before we finished. It turned out to be a warm day despite beginning in the low 50s. We were both tired and drank most of our water.
