This hike starts at the end of Gardner canyon Road. Two trails start here, Cave Canyon Trail #149 and Gardner Canyon Trail #143 (I think it is also called Link Trail). This is a round trip hike up Cave Canyon Trail to Florida Ridge, then along Florida Crest Trail to first saddle along Florida Ridge. Cave Canyon Trail is 3.8 miles of continuous uphill, not as bad as Florida Canyon Trail but this is on the South facing slope so there is a lot more sun exposure. Cave canyon Trail did not have anything that stood out other than some great views of Mount Wrightson and Florida Ridge. I love the views from the saddle along Florida Ridge and the grassy saddle is a nice place to take a break.
