Reviews of Scout Cave
"Great destination for a quick hike. There are some stairs, rocks, and ledges to go over, but it is definitely do-able."
"We loved this hike. Beautiful views from the cave. Hike is an out-and-back. It can be accessed from a couple of starting points. The main trailhead is by the entrance to Snow Canyon State park, which is a fee area for parking. You can also park just outside the park boundary and hike into the park and to the trailhead, but this adds distance on to your hike. Many people buy a multi-day or annual pass for Snow Canyon, so it might be best to pay the fee and park at the trailhead. From the trailhead the hike meanders through lava fields and then drops down into a wash. Here it briefly connects with Kestrel Trail, which is a slightly shorter way to access the hike, but there is no trailhead parking for Kestrel. The hike run’s for a short way in a wash to the north of ‘The Reserve’ (at Entrada) neighborhood and to the west of ‘The Cliffs’ neighborhood. It then gains elevation as it heads towards the cave. There is a set of several dozen stairs made from Railroad ties that take you uphill. There are no handrails, so it makes the hike more ‘moderate’ classification and maybe less suitable for those nervous of heights or not as sure footed. The hike continues to climb from above the stairs to the cave. There is a little scrambling/use of hands involved for the last part as you enter the cave. But do-able for most hikers, including kids. We enjoyed spending some time in the cave and admiring the views before returning to the start."
"We loved this hike! We have kids ranging from 5-16 years old. Our youngest 2 do not like hiking. It was a little long for them & harder at the very end. But, we did it! We found a desert tortoise & we loved the cave. It would be very hot during the summer months. We hiked last week in 70 degree weather & it was hot. There isn’t a ton of shade on the trail but you can find it if you need it. There are some lava rocks you “scramble over” then some sand and at the end some climbing on the sandstone up to the actual cave. There is a small portion with some stairs too. The sign at the beginning says 5.5 miles. All trails lists it as a 3-4 mile hike. I think it’s closer to a 3-4 mile hike. We didn’t clock it exactly but we are a slow family & we enjoyed ourselves in the cave. It took us 2 hours to finish."
