![]() This ruins the experience for future explorers so please be respectful of nature. Many caves have been closed to the public to preserve them due to disturbances to the cave and wildlife. Unfortunately there are some who will ruin nature’s beautiful creations for future generations. DO NOT damage the natural creations caves have to offer. We simply provide basic information about caves that is available throughout the internet.Ĭaves are natural wonders and should not be mistreated. We are not responsible for your caving experience. Caving can be extremely dangerous and it’s not recommended you visit any cave without a guide, extensive research on the cave, mapping out your cave route beforehand and having the proper equipment. That doesn’t just apply to having the correct gear, it also applies to your experience and knowledge of caves. Preparation is extremely important when it comes to caving. Never go into a cave alone and without telling someone first. Rescue attempts are difficult due to the terrain so be prepared in case of an emergency. Be aware that this requires going up and down a few hundred stairs over the course of the tour.Caving can be very dangerous so adequate planning is required. The road leading to the parking lot is in basic disrepair with potholes and cracks but any car should be able to navigate it. There is a gift shop on site for kitschy stuff. We didn't make reservations on line but I could see how that might be necessary. We went on a Monday morning and it wasn't overly crowded. The tour took about 50 minutes and the tours start at the top of the hour. Many of the stalactites have been broken off over the years, either naturally or by humans. Having said that, this is interesting if you don't want to drive out to kartchner. I have been to both and kartchner is much more interesting. I agree with a different submission that says to go to kartchner if you have a choice. Anyone who knows how to use a gps based direction system would take an additional 10 minutes at most. ![]() While the road leading to the cave from I-10 is under construction, I disagree with the previous submission talking about 3 hours. Our family truly enjoyed our visit.the love and joy that Joyce has for the desert and animals really shows and was a big part. ![]() Also included was the petting zoo, which our daughter loved almost as much as riding Annie, the Norwegian Draft horse she rode through the desert! Bunnies, alpacas, chickens, mini horses, mini donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep.and we were lucky to be there when there were baby bunnies and kittens. So much so, that when helping my husband on Freddie, she reminded him he likes to stop for a snack of grass along the trail, and to not let him! The desert ride was breath taking. She knows each and every horse well, making it easy for her to pair a rider with a horse. ![]() She was great with our 10 year old daughter, even allowing her to ride in the ring area after our ride was over, after learning she has been taking riding lessons. Joyce, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area we were riding through and truly loves what she is doing. The Park also has a riding stable a bit down the road.which we loved! (look on their website under Stables) Our family did a 45 minute ride through the was fabulous. They are doing some renovations, so it will be interesting to see what all goes in. We did get a pizza from the Cafe, which was good. Our guide was young, but very knowledgeable about the cave and its history. We did the regular cave tour and enjoyed it very much.
