Historic tour through Wind Cave at the Devils Lookout
A 55-foot high fissure. Before electric lights one could not see into the ceiling of this chamber. It was often said that the Devil was watching people from the top of this passage. This was the extent of exploration in the cave until 1890 when Alvin Mc Donald began his explorations. First seen by L.C. Faris, Frank Halden, and Charlie Roe on June 5, 1884.
