The Green and the Beautiful

Caverns, Custer, & Bears

Jewel Cave

While in the Black Hills, we went to Jewel Cave for Tigger’s first underground experience.  I was excited to learn it’s the 2nd longest cave in the world, and it’s still being explored.  There are several tours varying by your levels of adventurous spirit and claustrophobia.  There are plenty of options for people who aren’t …
