Before you go

Tour with a guide

Show caves run guided tours with lighting and paths; wild caves need training, gear and often a permit.

Bring a layer

Caves stay near the area’s year-round average temperature, often in the 50s °F, even in summer.

Protect the bats

Many caves close seasonally to protect hibernating bats from white-nose syndrome. Follow closures and decontamination rules.
