Spanish Cave
Wichita Mtns Wildlife Refuge - SW Oklahoma
November 10, 2007

Hike in
(top route)
has a lot of boulder hopping
and is the harder way in/out
Cross the dam of the lake
and then walk north
a few feet to find the trail

************************

Hike out
(lower route)
is steep and has some
rock scrambling
but is the easier way in/out
From the parking lot at the dam
walk down the road and then turn
west and follow the stream bed south
 to the entrance to Spanish Canyon,
then walk up the canyon
Lots of Green Briar - don't wear shorts
