Sweet looking cave, where is this at?

[jumar]

From the grotto page:

Crystal Ball Cave: This cave is located on BLM land but is controlled under mining claims filed by the Bates family in Gandy, Utah. Gerald and Marlene Bates conduct tours for the public. You should call in advance. No tours are conducted on Sundays. The fees are $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for children. The tour minimum is $12. The Bates lead tours with lanterns, but you will see more if you take your own good headlamps.

Very cool little cave. There's a bunch of good ones in this area. I'm going to have to go back again sometime and hit some of the others.

Great pics man, its good to see Mr. Bates still out there giving tours. That's pretty cool you took your little kids through. I want to go back and take mine.

Thanks for sharing,

James
