Boyd Cave is a short trail (less than a mile) which takes you to Coyote Loop Trail at the road crossing to Arnold Ice Cave trail. The trail starts on a gravel road that leads you to the entrance to Boyd Cave (100 yards away) which is a nice detour and one of many natural lava caves in the area East of Bend.
