About Ice Cave Trail
Parking: Sunrise to sunset at designated trail-head only.

Access: From the Lakeside Ranger District office, travel southeast on White Mountain Blvd. 0.2 of a mile. Turn left onto Porter Mountain Road. Proceed north 1 mile to the trailhead; parking area immediately on right.

Highlights: This trail traverses stream and ponderosa pine habitats where associated bird species are found, as well as small and medium-sized mammals. Mule deer and elk are occasionally seen. The trail follows Porter Creek, past the south side of Scott Reservoir and climbs in elevation to connect with the Blue Ridge Trail.

Midway on the trail is the Ice Cave, a lava tube from which a constant flow of cool air, 52° F, emanates. The cave is fenced for preservation. From Ice Cave Trail webpage
