Chautauqua Park: Mallory Cave

First discovered by loggers on Dinosaur Mountain in the late 19th century, Mallory Cave was 'rediscovered' by an adventurous University of Colorado Student, E.C. Mallory, in 1932. The trail can be accessed from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) or from Chautauqua Park in Boulder.
