Wander through the snowy forest through trails, taking turns, and following signs until you start to descend towards the caves, when you see the small valley that has the Midland ice caves hidden away.

Most years, there is a hole in the end of the ice, allowing you to climb up and into behind the ice wall. Take a new perspective on winter and explore this amazing tundra.
