Description

Ranger-guided tours of Slaughter Canyon Cave take you into an underground wilderness without electricity. Located miles from the bustle of the main Visitor Center, please allow two hours travel time to reach the cave mouth for your tour. There is no crawling on this tour, but a strenuous hike up a steep 1½ mile trail makes this a challenging trip in an unspoiled back country setting.
