This has to be one of the prettiest caves I've ever been in. It's so sad that people who visit this cave can destroy it with carelessness and disregard to one of natures greatest gifts the earth has to offer. We made a 2nd trip the next day, picked up a Canadian family who decided to follow us once inside the cave and managed to show them that they to can make a difference. We didn't know each other but once they saw us cleaning as we explored, they asked if they could help. They filled up one garbage bag and said that they would forever encourage other friends and families to do the same. We didn't get paid to clean, no one asked us too, we simply read about it online and decided to show our kids that one small gesture can make a huge impact.
Our nieces joined us on the trip- it was their first time caving!
Not my favorite part of caving....
Did I mention the Catalina State Park also has ruins you can hike to??
The Native Americans lived here, some of the huts still stand today, the hike was beautiful!
***On a side note- we never recommend caving by yourself and always make sure you have the proper equipment. We do not provide locations of most caves, 1. to preserve the cave and 2. for safety reasons..if you really want to cave, you know what it takes and know the rules of revealing locations. Show caves are different and locations are available through simple web research. Just remember the cavers creed - TAKE ONLY PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY CAREFULLY PLACED FOOTSTEPS, KILL NOTHING BUT TIME!
