Cave Alternate Trail is a 0.6 mile rocky trail with a 225 foot change in elevation. Some sections have a max grade drop of 20% or greater. If starting from the top, at the intersection with Moonshine, you can descend down the mountain, visit the small cave and cross the main park road to take Cave Trail leading up Ellenburg Mountain to the Tom Bevill Trail.
