Wild Cave Tour: Adult
Crystal Cave Tours Sequoia National Park
Explore off-trail, crawl, and climb through passageways, over steep drop-offs and past intricate formations on a belly-crawling tour. This tour gives you the opportunity to learn about Sierran caves first hand. Your cave guide will explain how the delicate formations such as soda straws, rimstone dams and cave pearls are formed. Experience total darkness and silence interrupted only by the rhythmic sounds of dripping and flowing water. Expect to come away with great memories, new knowledge and insight, intermingled with sore muscles and a thick coating of dirt from head to toe. All participants must be in good physical condition to participate. Offered Saturdays only mid-June through mid-August.Select a date to see a list of times
