Really gorgeous but download the map. There is a scrambling section on the cave trail that is incredibly tough to navigate. I attempted multiple times but without a buddy nor help decided to turn around. Some folks suggested following the cairns on the east side of the face which ended up being much more manageable.

We began early in the morning with a good breeze. Once at the summit near Weavers Needle we continued in to Lone Tree. The scenic view was stunning at Lone Tree. We used GPS to get on trail to Geronimo’s Cave and most of the way until we hit Bluff Springs. It was here that we met a group of 10 ladies doing an overnight hike through REI. It was a great hike with near perfect temperature.

Cave trail is marked 90% by cairns. Route finding skills are desirable. Stopped time shows 2 hours. We only "stopped" for about an hour. The rest was "route finding."
