Come learn about the geology and secret history of this large, limestone cavern with a park ranger.

  • Requires a one-mile, moderate, round-trip hike to the cave entrance (500 foot elevation gain)
  • Access to cave requires scrambling 40 feet down a steep, rocky slope to the cave floor
  • Tours are free; large groups (10+) should call the park to arrange a group tour
