• Aturan

  Cave tours by ticket only

  1 Jan – 31 DesPesan lebih awal

  Every trip underground is a ticketed ranger tour, released six months ahead and sold out weeks in advance in summer. There is no way to see the cave without booking one. Sumber ↗

• Aturan

  Bio-security screening on exit

  1 Jan – 31 DesPenutupan

  Everyone leaving the cave walks over decontamination matting, and clothing or footwear worn in another cave is not allowed underground. It is the white-nose fungus in the bat colonies the rangers are keeping out. Sumber ↗

  Spring high water

  The Green River rises through the wet months and the ferry crossing inside the park shuts whenever it does, which puts a long detour on the drive to the north side. The riverside trails go under with it. Sumber ↗

  The surface trails run through hardwood and long grass and carry ticks and chiggers from spring to the first frost. None of it touches the cave tours; all of it touches everything above ground. Sumber ↗
