This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Come join our Seasonal Interpretive Ranger, Caleb, at the Buggytop Trailhead Saturday, June 20th at 9:00 am for a tour of our Buggytop Cave. Buggytop Cave is one of our main sites here at Head of the Crow, offering just over 1 mile of a beginner level caving experience and one of the most impressive cave openings in the state.
This guided cave tour will last about 6 hours, covering just about 5.5 to 6 miles. During the cave tour, even though marketed as a beginner level cave, there will still be some crawling, mud, and water. There is a chance that during our tour we may get wet, up to our knees, since Crow Creek flows through Buggytop Cave. Participants must be able to walk across rocky, slick, uneven surfaces. Participants will also need the ability to climb up and down some rock ledges. So be prepared when arriving at the trailhead with proper foot wear to be able to hike 2 miles to the cave, scramble over rocks in the cave, and for the 2-mile hike back to the trailhead. Please also bring plenty of water. Head of the Crow staff will provide headlamps and helmets. We also recommend packing knee pads for your convenience, though these are not required.
