We all at one time or another have gotten off trail or lost if you want to call it that. While I am backpacking I usually keep an eye on the blaze marks (trail markers) posted on the trees. Along with that I have an overview of where I have been and where I should be getting to in different stages.

The first thing you notice about Cathedral Caverns is the massive entrance. The huge opening measures 126 feet wide and 25 feet high. And it gets even better.

You will also, in all probability, move from one spot to another if the trip is going to be a long drawn-out one. In this case you will want to ensure that your camping backpack is as light as you can possibly make it. You can ensure in two ways. Firstly, get yourself a light aluminum frame backpack, and lastly, do not stuff the pack with items you can do without."
