Most people see the rugged cliffs of Northern Guam and appreciate the beauty of it. Today, we found another way to appreciate it; jump off the 66’ledge into the crystal blue water. It was a new experience for both Anna and I. We’d jumped off high rocks into rivers, but nothing quite like this.
After we fully enjoyed the cliffs (including more than a couple jumps), we headed inland to the Pagat Caves. This area was the former home of a Chamorro Village up until the 18th century. The cave provided shelter and fresh water for the locals living there. For us, it afforded an unique experience of a fresh water swimming hole in a cave. Inside the water was cool and refreshing. The shore was ringed with candles from previous hikers. We lit them and chatted with our friends who had brought us to the cave. Our group included: Jude and Donna Baker, Rob and Carrie Fry, and Kevin Mares, plus Anna and I.
Here’s a view from the entrance of the cave. The main room is off to the left (out of the picture).
This was quite an enjoyable hike…we look forward to coming back again soon.
