Someone Actually Climbed Up To This Cave

As I was on the Arizona Strip, I noticed a large cave opening high on the cliffs. I had my drone with me and decided to fly up to it to see how far it went...
This is just a short video to keep you curious! I didn't want to get too close, because I just wasn't in the mood to accidently hit something and lose my drone. I hope you enjoyed this video anyway!
I am exploring more of this area and have found several other caves worth exploring. I will let you know what I find!
Thank you for being part of The Trek Planner! We love to bring you fun, interesting, entertaining, and unique places from our adventures!
