The parking lots were filled, and at times the line to enter the trail to Old Man's Cave stretched back almost to the Visitors Center. But as you walked the trail and marveled at the natural winter artwork along the way, it was unusual to hear any discouraging words. I'd comfortably estimate over 4,000, based on the fact … (1 comments)
