View Original Description
Blue Grotto Cave (1,541 ft / 470 m) One of the "Moderately Challenging Caves." This cave is named for the pale blue-gray portions of the ceiling inside the “Blue Grotto”. The ceilings are high throughout this cave, but the floors are rough.
Length: 1,541 feet.
Distance from visitor center: Cave Loop
You can walk completely upright on main path.
Cave has stairs/steps.
Cave has a relatively "smooth" path.
The caves found here were created by flows of smooth lava 10,500 to 65,000 years ago. As the lava cooled, caves formed and created homes for unique cave life to thrive. These fantastic underground worlds can be visited on your own or by guided tour in the summer. Please “take only pictures, leave only footprints” so others have a chance to discover what you have during your trip.
