Lewis and Clark Caverns
The Lewis and Clark Caverns have incredible cave tours that you can't miss when traveling up from Yellowstone National Park. When on vacation in the west, Lewis and Clark Caverns must be included on your itinerary. These caves date back millions of years and are the largest limestone caverns in the US.
Open year round, the Lewis and Clark Caverns invite the adventurous to explore their depths. The air-conditioning is completely natural, and the caves are lined with formations of ornate columns, stalactites and stalagmites. You'll learn all about these on a cave tour.
There are displays and more history you can discover by stopping by the visitor center. In the summer, take the kids to one of the evening programs. The guided tours are the most fun, however, as you see first-hand what the guide is discussing.
There are 20 regular campsites and 20 tent sites for your convenience. With all the outdoor fun, such as boating, fishing and hiking, you'll have the time of your life!
