The trail leading to the Swallet Caves at Montezuma Well will be closed for the months of May and June. The rest of the trails will remain open. The cave is a critical maternity habitat for the Townsend’s big-eared bat during these months. While nursing their pups, noise, movement, or any other disturbance could cause the bats to abandon their roost.
Questions about the protection of this habitat can be directed to Tina Greenawalt, Chief of Natural Resources, at 928-649-6195 x 227
