Minnetonka Cave, ID

September 6, 2010 - 

While we were in Bear Lake we took a drive up to Minnetonka Cavern. Minnetonka Cave is located near the town of Montpelier in the Caribou National Forest. Minnetonka cave is comprised mostly of limestone, and the entrance to the cave is more than 7,700 feet high. The half-mile route through the cave is lined with stalactites and stalagmites. There are more than 400 steps up and down in the cave, and  is cool at about 40 degrees year round. It was a fun family trip and what a hike!

A bunch of Cows was walking along the road on the way up to the caves. We had to stop the cars to let them pass. Funny but random. :)
