    Minnetonka Cave

    My bro in law got married in Logan, so I took a detour to Bear Lake to visit Minnetonka Cave. Here's a couple pics. Sounds like you can contact the Forest Service to get permission to go on past where the tourists stop. Next time I'm up at Bear Lake I'm going to do this.

    If I remember right, the tour is back something like 1800 feet. The tour guide said there's something like 1200 more beyond the regular tour. I asked her if there's even better stuff back where the tourists don't go, and she said there was. Makes me want to go up there again soon! So many fun things to do in Utah, and so little time to do it.

    Technically Minnetonka Cave is in Idaho. Maybe I should change my name to 'Location Nazi'.

    I took my boy up last year. Here are some of my pics.

    The first two are at Rick's Spring. The water is coming right out of the mountain.

    I took my sister there a few years ago. Pretty neat!

    I tried to take my ILs there the first week of June and it said CLOSED. Then we tried Paris Ice Caves and hit snow at mile 8.2.

    Rick's Spring is actually the Logan River coming from underground in case anyone didn't know!

    Logan river travels underground, and re-surfaces at Rick's Spring.

    In Logan Canyon, there is a pull-off didn't even know about it until I saw the sign and pulled off.

    It's probably 40 feet from the road. You'll see it when you get near Tony's Grove.
