Got the feeling we were in a cathedral. Hope your weather is better than ours was.

What's different about it (there are 2 tours only, just 2 different areas) is that it is a LIVING cavern. It is not cold inside. A tram takes you up to it and you walk (mostly level) through it. It is warm and humid inside. It's one of the best we've seen. They take such good care of this cavern, it is amazing. About $23 for 1 tour. We've have done them both a couple of years ago, so we are here just to camp (nice campground) and we did the 2 hikes here at the park. There is a 2.5 mi up and around the park and the 5+ mi that leads you back in the wash/creek area. Nice info area/film/café/butterfly garden. Great place for a short stop. It is just outside the town of Benson.DebbieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098946439067724168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656005316285989115.post-71199497184619512662015-03-25T09:56:25.219-07:002015-03-25T09:56:25.219-07:00Hey Debbie, We are headed to Utah to see the NP...Hey Debbie, We are headed to Utah to see the NP's up there.
