No matter what day of the week that you come to visit Russell Cave, you can always participate in the self-guided tour out to the cave shelter. You can either grab a brochure and read the signs at the cave, or if you’re looking for a little more, you can listen to our audio tour. It’s important to know that this tour needs to be downloaded before you get to the park. Russell Cave does not have reliable cell phone service nor Wi-Fi. The NPS App is available for free through the App Store and Google Play. Once the app is downloaded, individual park pages like Russell Cave’s can be saved for offline use to ensure the tour is available during your visit.
