 Bone Cave | A dark cave with remnants of long-dead animals. Used to be a temporary shelter for travelers… until the permanent resident settled in. | 46 | Horizon (about 160 m) |
 Cougar’s Den | Hidden deep within the mountains, this cave was once home to a large cougar. Though the cougar is no longer there, jagged rocks at the entrance, resembling fangs, serve as a reminder of its former presence.
