We were hiking to Cecret Lake in Albion Basin in Little Cottonwood Canyon with the family, and we noticed a cave entrance just off the trail. The entrance is small and required me to crawl in on my stomach, but once inside it opens up to a 4 foot tall shaft that goes back far enough that I could not see the end. I just had my cell phone LED flash as a flash light and could only walk back about 15 feet before the water got deep enough that I could not continue without getting my shoes wet.
In searching the Internet I could not find any information on this cave. With most of the family waiting outside, I did not have time to investigate much, but since then I have been wondering if it was not man-made, like a mine shaft. It has been years since I have been a member of the NSS and I have never been involved with any grotto's since moving to Utah, and it seems online information on caves is non-existent.
Can anyone tell me anything about this cave? What is it named? How long is it? Is it natural?
