Here are a bunch of pictures:
This was honestly about the clearest water. It was surprising to find such clear water in a cave.

| I'm too lazy :haha:. The just of it was that we just had the cave to ourselves for exploring and we had a great time. |

| Awesome! Thanks for the pics. I'm still disappointed I ddin't get to do this cave when I had the chance. They don't issue permits for it in the summer. Would you recommend it to others, if I try to do it this fall? |

NW Utah; very well known, but you can only visit by permit in the past few years, so contact the BLM. There was no permit system before a couple years ago.

BLM Salt Lake City Field Office. Application below:

Sorry, no OHV's allowed inside the cave. :naughty: :nono: |

Nice job with all the info Scott.
I would recommend doing Crystal Cave but I would only recommend it to someone with an SUV. I found out on this trip that my Outback is not my Jeep. I actually bottomed out a couple of times getting there and my car got scratched on some narrower parts of the road out there.
(I had no advanced warning of the poor conditions of the roads).
That being said, it was cool. And it was fun being the only people there. I think it is because of Bats (in an attempt to preserve their habitat?) that they do not issue permits in the Summer. (I'm pretty sure that this upcoming weekend is the final until Fall). I'm sure you have been to cooler places Jumar but I thought it was fun. |

This is probably not interesting but here is a clip of Ruth in the cave:

I can see the shadow of your camera, too! That's actually kind of funny.
Cool - thanks for posting that. It may not be totally "riveting", but it's definitely interesting enough to post! |
