Jewel Cave National Monument

Jewel Cave National Monument was our next planned stop. We were up bright and early in order to make the first tour. I think this cave is more spectacular than Wind Cave but the tour is more hurried so not as enjoyable as you feel you don't really have time to do much more than glance at the items you pass. I felt both tours were worthwhile but the Jewel Cave tour could benefit from a more relaxed pace with more explanation as to what you are seeing. However, we just barely made the tour in the time allotted so my guess is they keep things moving fast so they can get more tours in per day.


















After the tour we hiked on the local trails.

The dogs are always napping while we tour so afterwards we have to exercise them.
