Real directions!!! Skylight Cave may be reached from Hwy 20/126 by turning onto forest road 2061/Geo McAllister (directly across from the Camp Sherman turnoff) and follow it about 5.5 miles to forest road 1028. Turn left on forest road 1028 and follow it about 1/2 mile to forest road 260. Turn left on forest road 260 and follow it about 1 mile where you’ll find the entrance to the cave on the right side of the road. Watch for a very small road marker on the left indicating Road 266; the cave is near this road. There should also be a bulletin board with sign in sheet. Dont forget to sign so forest service knows how many people visit. You might have to pull off after 3/4 mile and walk the rest of the way because the road gets a bit narrow for a car. There is a natural pull off to park around this point. No need for 4 wheel just go slow. Lava tubes go for quite a while. Hiking poles and headlamps helpful. Ground is uneven from lava rocks. Go in the morning for best light. Ladder down is metal, very heavy and sturdy.
