Coronado Cave is located 0.75 mile from the Visitor Center up a moderately steep trail. 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. Bring water, hiking shoes and at least one flashlight 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.
