The Caverns


Today we went to the caverns. We had made reservations last week, which are required. We had 11:30 reservations which meant we could arrive between then and one hour later. Any later than that and we wouldn't be allowed in. Our National Parks pass saved us the entry fee, $30. 

Nancy was on her electric scooter and we took the elevator down 750 feet to the Big Room. I am SO proud of her! She is claustrophobic, but down she went for the one and a half mile self-guided tour. We took dozens of pictures of the formations, then we were done. An hour and twenty minutes, and Nancy was fine during the entire tour.


When we left, we drove down a one-way trail that was 9.5 miles long, with a maximum speed of 15 mph, and at times 5 mph. We drove through canyons, along ridges and valleys, but again, the scenery was gorgeous. It took us 1-1/2 hours to reach the end of the trail.

Afterwards, we came home and let the dogs out. We drove back into town and had BBQ for dinner, then returned and ended our travels for the day.

Tomorrow we are heading for Sitting Bull Falls.
