Castle Rock seems so cool. Love all the lore around it. The pacing of this video is like a vlog format! The 🌈 at the Falls is so cool. The gravesite section seems pretty creepy.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  2 года назад +1

      So I just looked at our trip log from the parking lot of schoolhouse Gap trail... We visited rainbow cave Falls and blowhole cave which is right beside rainbow cave Falls.... Out and back was 5.5 mi for us.
      Probably a little less considering we walk back and forth filming and stuff like that so I would imagine 4. 5 - 5 miles. Out and back
