It took me a while before I found this cave opening. I was over by the abandoned zoo area first. Then I went to the other side at the top of the canyon area. This is where I found the entrance. Cold air was blowing in my face when I got close to the opening. When I went in it was mind blowing. I went in as far as I could go before turning around. There is a lot of dark history in this apache death cave. I was so happy when I found it and went in.

What is there to say? It's an awesome cave. The whole area is great for exploring the adjacent ruins. The front entrance is a bit sketchy, I prefer scaling the rocks to taking the bridge, but both paths are valid to enter the cave. The main entrance is definitely beginner friendly. It tightens up before opening into a large atrium with several offshoot rooms. Deeper in the cave is another smaller atrium, leading into an extremely tight squeeze one way, and some more advanced spelunking the other way. The road leading out there is a bit off road, but with care, it was a trivial task even in our civic.

Beautiful picturesque place. Had to make 2 trips. One to take pictures of all the "ruins" and another to explore the cave. The cave is nearest the entrance as you drive down. So explore all the "ruins". And the cave is not big person friendly. Lol. So if you're small in stature and size, you can do a lot more exploring.

Spent around an hour and half here. Really nice! The cave was kind of creepy and deep. We could go deeper but it's getting thinner so it's sketchy because the risk of getting stuck is high. There's bats too so be careful not to get rabies. History behind this is cool. Not sure about the ghost stories.

So this is where a group of Apache Indians came into conflict with a group of Navajo Indians. The Apache tried to hide in a cave to avoid violent conflict. They barricaded the opening of the cave with the corpses of their horses. (Fun facts) however the Navajo lit a fire and fired shots into the cave. 42 Apache suffocated in the cave. In the 19(20's I believe) a man decided to capitalize on the legend of the "cursed Apache death cave" he gathered the bones of the deceased Indians and sold them to tourists
October I didn't go down in cave but boyfriend went alone but didn't take pictures. To dangerous for me to go down while holding a dog. Plus I'm klutzy and didn't want to fall.
It was originally Bowlin's gift shops. Along interstate 10 and interstate 40. They were very popular for the traveling public. Each location had a feature, hence the Apache death cave they created to attract Tourists. There are very few left.... Tourists aren't interested in the journey anymore but the destination. 80 miles an hour down the interstate and you miss many interesting stops including the scenery...
It's free. There's nothing touristy there. It's just the cave and a few buildings next to it. No info sign, no gift shop. Nothing. It's really cool
Two Guns was the site of a mass murder of Apaches by their Navajo enemies in 1878. A group of Apaches had hid in a cave at Two Guns to avoid detection, but were discovered by the Navajos, who lit sagebrush fires at the cave's exit and shot any Apaches trying to escape. The fire asphyxiated 42 Apaches, after which they were stripped of their valuables. The murder site is referred to as the "death cave".
It's right next to the freeway, you can't really miss it if you are looking for it
Cave seems kinda sketchy. As far as safety is concerned. But hey. It's a death cave for crying out loud. Pretty cool/creepy spot.
