It isn't just that you can be fined for doing so, but it hurts the wildlife living within. The area has a couple of endangered species and is protected. The park is open from dawn to dusk and hikers must stay on the trail. Oh, and for almost 150 years, legends have been told that the large recess cave in the gorge was named Old Man’s Cave for a trapper by the name of Retzler who lived and died there and was buried in the cave with his white wolfhound. For years, before locals reburied his body in a more secluded spot away from prying eyes, people would come to the cave to visit the bones, and it was called Dead Man’s Cave. Some even passed along that long after the man and dog died, the ghost of the baying hound haunted the gorge area.
