Mammoth Cave
In the photo above you can see a circular shape on the ceiling of the cave that looks like light shining in from above. It is however a mineral of some type that casts a glow like silver on the rocks.
No one is permitted beyond this point...there is a giant sign saying so. Tho the man working at the cave said it does continue at least another 1/2 mile.
Mammoth Cave is located 8 miles north of Shoshone down a gravel road. Once there you pay at the museum and they provide the propane lanterns. The path in the cave is about 1/2 mile round trip. It's very dark, cause there are no lights in the cave other then the lanterns you carry. The temperature inside the cave stays around 40 degrees fahrenheit year round. The cave was said to be discovered in 1902 by early settlers in the area, and is considered the largest volcanic cave in the world, thats open to the public.
