DANGER CAVE! - 40°44'56.65"N 114° 1'4.67"W

DANGER CAVE ENTRANCE

Last week my daughter heard us discussing Wendover and excitedly shared a few details surrounding Danger Cave one mile outside of Wendover. A quick phone call to the Montego Bay Hotel and Casino in Wendover yielded a free room for the evening, so we packed up our gear and headed west to see the sight. There are no road signs for the site from the direction we approached, so use the following GPS coordinates as a bread crumb trail beginning with EXIT #1 off I-80. This jeep trail gets a little hairy in one spot, so you may want to bring your higher clearance vehicle...using 4 low will make the ride less bumpy, but 4x4 is not necessary.

The second link below gives directions to approach the site from the other side and it appears to be more car friendly, albeit less adventureous.

I personally wouldn't travel to far to see this cave, but if you're in Wendover any way it is definitely worth the diversion. With school being almost exclusively textbook oriented learning, it was certainly worth the time investment for us to take a field trip and physically grasp DANGER CAVE with our own eyes!
