Summary: My husband and I really enjoyed exploring this cave with Wes Sims. He is passionate about caving, so we learned a lot, and he's really fun. It was a blast. Challenging, beautiful, wet, muddy, educational. Totally recommend this!

Summary: It was Amazing! It really pushes you to your limit. Wes does a great job guiding you and gives you time to get through obstacles. It does have tight spaces, you have just your head lamp for light for a couple of hours and you crawl through water in a tunnel, but it is worth it! It is something that you have never experienced before!

Summary: This cave is amazing. It has so much variety and so many different features: slot canyons, waterfalls, ribbons, delicate dripstones, too many fossils to count. We saw several salamanders, crickets and fish. Wes was excellent -- he knew the cave so well and is really committed to protecting and sharing it. He also takes a lot of photos to share, which is great since it is sometimes hard to have your camera out. It was not easy. It involved some tight squeezes and long crawls on your belly, but it felt really rewarding to reach some of the special inner places.
