Tour The Caverns!

I have included the video tape of the tour of the caverns and it may be viewed by clicking on the link at the left (Tour The Caverns) It is in the Real Video format. I have encoded it in story book mode so as to enable the best quality with 28k modems. Enjoy!!!

PLEASE NOTE!!! Climbing in or around the caves and or formations is a violation of the Montana Cave Conservation Act. If you visit here, please do not do it, and make sure your children do not do it, as this type of activity can render the formations dead. In order to fully understand why, please watch the Tour Of The Caverns, or go and take the tour for yourself. Thankyou!

I have put the best pictures I have of the Lewis and Clark Caverns here. Located halfway between Butte and Bozeman Montana, this is a must see if you visit here. The tour is 2 hours long and worth it! The caverns are located deep within a mountain. This was a good test for the "night shot" feature of the Sony camcorder. As far as I am concerned, it passed with five stars! 

This is just east of Butte Montana.
