Make sure you leave early and in the morning is best. It is a long walk but you can take all the time you need if you start out early. Better to sit around and wait then to have to try to run up hill. The are great with kids too. They take time to make sure everyone can see...

You have to pay before hiking up the mountin side with no siderails, then have to wait up at the top to the entrance for the park ranger to get there, then but inside is great beautiful, but after wards when done, you have to walk back down and like I said no siderails to keep you from falling. So...

Get there early before it gets too hot and sign up as the number of tourists are limited to time slots. It's a wonderful walk and the caves are great!

Great excursion for squirmy kids! You must hike up and up a trail for 45 minutes to reach the mouth of the cave, so go early in the morning during the summer. Bring a jacket though because the cave temperature is about 45 degrees! Very informative and enjoyable tour. Learn the meaning of true darkness when they turn off the...

It takes about 45 min to get to the top of the trail where the cave entrance is. The views are stunning, you can see the whole valley. There's a guide that meets you at the cave entrance and gives you a tour. The cave was kind of cold but it was amazing and beautiful.

Its a tough hike, but its totally worth the effort. When I went we had a baby in a sling--it made it a little tricky to navigate the cave, but doable.

I liked it all. If nature and natural history is interesting to you, its a must do when you are in the area. It is worth the short mile (ish) hike up to the entrance. Its is an uphill hike on a path at altitude if you are not healthy and/or used to altitude, make a wise choice whether or...

The drive to the cave is beautiful - make sure to have cash for the forest pass! This is a great place to see the natural beauty of Utah while not going too far from SLC. Buy tickets for the cave at the visitor's station before the hike (they do take credit). Make sure to bring water even if you...
