"Cave Tour"

The first review is right on for this cave tour. It can be a difficult hike for those that are not in good physical shape and small children may get worn out before the end of the tour. Take the camera and get pictures. This cave also has some examples of mans lack of care for these natural wonders. One room is called the "Vandal Room" due to the damage done when the cave was first opened to the public.
Check it out, it's worth the hike!

"not for the faint of heart (or weak of leg)"

The long guided tour through this breathtaking 9-room cave system is absolutely worth the 896 stairs (round trip) it takes to complete it. Probably not the best activity for families with children who will need to be carried, though. There were several infants on our tour who did okay, but the parents were definitely bushed well before the end.

The tour guides are very considerate and allow for frequent stops and slow downs to accomodate visitors who are less physically fit than might be ideal. (IE: people like me!)

Take a jacket as it can get cool in the lower caves and take a camera because photography IS allowed, unlike some other popular caves in the US.

There is also plenty of other recreation available as the caves are located within a short driving distance of Bear Lake and the charming towns that surround it.

A family pass is $20 (immediate family living at home) or it is $5 for individual adults and $4 for ages 6-12. If you have a Gold Pass discounts apply.
