Cave
Information
The
IUCC has compiled the following list of horizontal caves to which trips
are commonly scheduled. This information is quite general and should
not be used as a guide, but merely to give you information to help you
determine which trips you would like to sign up for. You must have gone
to at least two of five beginner caves before you will be allowed to
sign up for an intermediate trip. Trip and travel times are approximated.
