Coronado Cave

The cave is approximately 600 feet in length, 20 feet high and 70 feet wide with several crawl ways and passages, none of which is very extensive. Allow two hours for a leisurely, round trip hike and visit to the cave. Visitors are encouraged to bring water, hiking shoes and two flashlights per person (no candles, flares or lanterns).

The cave has been called by several names including Montezuma's Treasure Vault and Geronimo's Cave. Legends claim that it was used by the Apaches as a hide out when being pursued by the U.S. Army and in the late 1800's it was not uncommon to find arrowheads in the cave. The limestone that houses Coronado Cave formed about 250-300 million years ago when southern Arizona was covered by a shallow sea.
