    Hiking

    The Ice Caves in Minnewaska State Park are a cool collection of quartz caves and cliffs known as the Ice Caves. Most caves aren't made of rocks that are as hard as quartz (most cave systems are limestone and consist of the soft mineral calcite). There are some tight trails that make a fun loop through the caves.
