Totally Amazing. Drove up to Gold River to visit these caves. Very well maintained trail. Informative signs. Great way to learn about caves, and maneuver through them. Best to bring a helmet, headlamp, gloves, and waterproof shoes.

The caves are immaculate. Close together and not far from the road you come in on. Make sure to bring some headlights or flashlights and maybe some helmets if you got them. Bring lots of water and some food as you'll probably want to spend an afternoon here. We didn't take any pictures because we were to busy climbing around in the caves, proper foot wear advised.

Awesome spot. Only took about an hour to go through all the caves. Highly recommend bringing head lamps because you have to do a bit of crawling at parts, which is hard to do using your phone flashlight.

Follow the orange arrow to a green arrow that’s hard to see because of the brush.➡️Entrance is on the right side of the bridge.Headlamp is better than a flashlight because you need your hands for balancing.The path is well packed and you have a steep climb down and steady climb on the way up. I wore trail shoes and my friend work hiking boots and ideal for the climb.Moderate work and low ceiling drops but look at the map for the path.

I was there in early May and it was beautiful with no one else there. Still plenty of snow, but the temps were perfect for hiking. Make sure to dress for crawling around on the wet rocky ground and you’ll have a blast! Oh and make sure to turn to your right, down the small hill, after you cross the logging bridge (there’s a small blue arrow on a post) or you’ll do like I did and walk up a massive hill in the wrong direction, but it still made for beautiful views as you can see in the pics I posted.

Highly recommend. We are beginners to caves and recommend these caves for anyone! The are many different caves to offer a variety of experience ranges. Some caves you don’t even have to loose sight of the entrance, great for those who may be scared of the dark. Headlamps are highly recommended for anyone looking to explore a bit deeper though! Overall a great experience!

Beautiful trail with several unique caves to explore. Bring sturdy shoes and a head lamp to get the full experience. Also will need a solid vehicle to get most of the way up Tlupana where the caves are located.

Very cool caves! And so close to the road, only a very short hike in to the first cave entrance. Multiple caves to explore. Kids loved it too.

Amazing caves to explore! Be prepared to get a bit dirty exploring these caves and dont forget your headlamp. We had lots of fun exploring these caves for a couple of hours! Definitely for those who are adventurous! Car park is very small though.
