One of the reasons we came through El Capitan passage was
that it provided access to the El Capitan cave system. Reported to be some of
the most extensive cave systems in North America. We motored a few miles to the
park service dock, dropped anchor off the dock (we were too large). Steve and
Sandy kindly stayed onboard whilst the rest of us went ashore. Surprisingly
there is a small forest service cabin a short distance from the caves where
they conduct small group tours (no more than 12) three times a day. We waited
for a returning tour group and played charades. The cave system is up a flight
of 370 steps, the rangers giving an enlightening lecture on surroundings as
they went. We spent about 1 hour in the
caves and found it very enjoyable.
