Lehman Caves and Mountain View Nature Trail







We took the 90 min Grand Palace Tour of Lehman Caves and then did the short 0.3 mile Mountain View Nature Trail by the Caves.
















This was a great tour with lots of interesting features. We also saw some sleeping bats.
stalactites and stalagmites.
some views looking up


lots to see
a broken stalactite, from when the use to allow visitors to take home pieces (so sad, know that we know these take thousands of years to grow).
there would be total darkness in the caves without a lights












some pools in the cave




Lehman Caves is known for their shield formations
so beautiful
lots more photos of a small part of what we saw










a small area, where the cave floor was exposed (not covered in paved trail)
The Mountain View Nature Trail is right outside the caves


The original cave entrance, where they dropped into Lehman Caves
there were a few wildflowers in bloom
We did get a distant view of Mt Moriah to the north


















Wheeler Peak was covered in clouds
