wanted to do a cave tour, but wind cave tours were suspended indefinitely due to a missing elevator part
the ranger recommended jewel cave instead
right on the way from devil's tower to hot springs, we had tickets for the 2:00 p.m. scenic tour
really enjoyed seeing the cave
lots of cool features
it would be fun to do one a little more demanding as this one was pretty mild
my mom tells me our family did a wind cave tour when we were kids but i barely remember anything about it
nice to visit another national monument

Did some further exploration on the grounds. Interesting, one of the largest cave systems in the world, much of it still not explored.
