Why would you enter a cave and travel upward instead of downward into the earth?

Because the cave is inside of a mountain. Caves are formed by water flowing down. And if the entrance is at the bottom of a mountain, you are going up the flow of the water that caused the cave, rather than following the flow down. +++ Indeed - though many caves are entered at the top, where the stream enters, and there are others with two or more entrances at different levels.
