This is a collapsed passage from long ago. As the Green River cut a deeper valley, the water moving down the side of the ridge created an instability in the rocks causing the passage to be closed off. When the room is silent you can still hear the sound of water dripping down the rocks. This breakdown happened long before modern day exploration. With the increase of rainfall, the water can be seen cascading down the rocks and disappearing into the depths of the unknown.
