Embark on a challenging hike to Skull Cave, also known as Skeleton Cave and Apache Cave, located near Canyon Lake. Discover the chilling history and untold mysteries of this infamous site as we explore its dark past. Skull Cave, a rock shelter perched 1,200 feet above the river, was once a hideout for the Yavapai people during the 1872 Tonto Basin Campaign. On December 28, 1872, General George Crook and the 5th Cavalry launched a deadly assault, leaving over seventy Yavapai victims in the cave. Forgotten for decades, the cave was rediscovered in 1908, revealing the tragic remnants of its history. Join us as we bring this eerie legend to life and reflect on the events that shaped Skull Cave's legacy.
