You can get maps at the main office if they’re open. The lady is super helpful & tells you exactly how to get to the caves & gives important info. There are also a few signs throughout the park with maps & the caves have signs stating the name. It’s easy to get turned around though so stay on trail & pay attention. To the maps as best as you can.
