How about Green Eyed Monster? Very well known, and Ophir isn't that far away, and seems as close as Nutty Putty. Since it has been vandalized, I don't think it would hurt to give it away.

Unfortunately, the smaller formations are now gone, but the big flowstone is still there. It's still way better than Nutty Putty. If you email me, I can give the location, but I still wouldn't post it on the net.

Also, there are farily well known caves in Rock Canyon and around Ogden (Jumpoff Canyon), which are close to the Wasatch Front, but I won't share these. Try joining the Grotto and you may be able to join a trip.

Thanks for offering info on Green Eyed Monster. Never heard of it. I may take you up on the offer and email you some time when I feel like going to a cave. That isn't very often, consdidering the amount of canyoneering, and kayaking (my new hobbie) there is to be done out there... Same reason for not joining the grotto. I'm not worthy, and not enthusiastic or interested enough about caves to join their club.

Vandals suck. Big time.

GEM has been on my to do list for a long time! But I have too many hobbies too, so I haven't gotten to it!

Sorry guys I havent been following this board much. Green Eyed Monster cave is actually on Private property and getting permission to access the cave is next to impossible. if you do go visit the cave without permission expect to return to your vehicle with a nice note or a ticket on the window.

We have been trying to come up witha solution to make the entrance to the mine more stable so that we can save the cave. Teh owner wants to through a stick of dnamite in the entrance and you can bet if he has to deal with people going out their on his land without permission he will do just that.

On the other hand if you be interested in hauling a culvert up the hill and figuring out a way to SAFELY dig out the entrance enough to get the culvert in we could save the cave.

Also if you would the landowers contact info to attempt to get permission to enter the cave let me know. but good luck getting permission.
