This past weekend we visited and explored the Lewis and Clark Caverns in southwestern Montana, located in the Lewis and Clark State Park. The best part of the tour was that we were able to explore these caverns with some of our grandchildren and their parents.
We didn't know anything about the Lewis and Clark Caverns prior to touring the caves, nor had we even been in a cavern. It was a wonderful learning experience for us. Check out the video below to get an overview of this unique creation.

Enjoy photos we took of the day:
Here we are waiting with the grandkids to enter. What will it be like inside?
Not seen here near the entrance, but we sure saw them were the bats roosting on the ceiling of the cave and flying around!
There was a lot of stooping, bending, and sometimes crawling throughout the tour.
Watch out! Don't hit your head on a stalactite!
The light seen in these photos is only from electrical lamps that were added in recent years.
It was a bit creepy... Especially at the point when the ranger turned out the lights.
Pitch dark, not a hint of light.
A real geological treasure and wonderland!
Amazing what water, minerals, air, and rock can do with each other over millions of years.
The above formation is called, "cave bacon".
I took this picture so I could send it to my brother, who loves bacon.
