πŸ’‘ Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • β€’Ensure to bring warm clothing, as the cave's temperature stays at around 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • β€’Remember to pack a sturdy pair of shoes for your subterranean exploration.
  • β€’Keep an eye on the little ones during the hike, as some parts of the cave can be a bit slippery.
  • β€’Photography is allowed, so bring your camera along to capture the cave's captivating beauty.
  • β€’Respect nature's work of art by refraining from touching the formations; the oils on our hands can damage them.
