Dixie Caverns

At the end of the school year Sequoia's class took a field trip to the Dixie Caverns.



We have been here before, it is not the most impressive cavern display...but it was a fun and interesting trip with a bunch of first graders. It's about a 45 min guided tour that goes up inside the mountain, unlike most caves that go underground. The caves were first discovered by a couple of boys and their dog in 1920.






It was extremely difficult to get any good pictures, so i'm only going to post a few. The caves are quite pretty, well lite and the hike is good for all ages. They also have a rather nice gift shop that sells all kinds of gorgeous crystals and stones. i come here a couple times a year just to buy stone cabochons and marbles for beading. :)



This was our group trying to get arranged for a photo. Wow! Look at all that pink. hee hee.
After the cave tour we wandered the gift shop and then enjoyed a picnic at the Dixie Caverns campground.
