Welcome to Jewel Cave National Monument! Jewel Cave, the second longest
cave in the United States and in the world, was established as a
National Monument in 1908 because of its scientific value and public
interest. President Theodore Roosevelt signed this legislation on
February 7, 1908 an action that protected the known cave at the time
(approximately one-half mile or .8 km). As of **[March
2008]{.underline}**, over 141.87 miles (228.32 km) of cave passageways
have been explored and surveyed, and exploration continues. Airflow from
the cave suggests that there may be thousands of miles yet to be
discovered.

Jewel Cave National Monument is located in South Dakota\'s Black Hills,
within a layer of limestone called the Pahasapa. This three-dimensional,
mazelike cave is significant in that it is one of the most structurally
complex caves in the world. The total of the known cave exists under
about three square miles (7.77 square km) of surface area. It contains
rare *speleothems* or cave decorations, which includes scintillates, and
the world\'s largest occurrence of hydromagnesite balloons (first
discovered at Jewel Cave). Abundant calcite spar crystals up to eighteen
inches in thickness coat surfaces within the cave, and formations such
as draperies, cave \"bacon\", popcorn, and frostwork are also found.

One aspect of Jewel Cave that truly sets it apart from many others is
the fact that visitors may experience the cave in a relatively pristine
condition. The impact of human travel through out the cave has been
reduced by the single entrance and recent discovery of the majority of
known cave. The popular Scenic Tour route was opened in 1972. The
cave\'s somewhat isolated, rural location and the fact that much of the
land over the cave is federally protected have resulted in minimal
impact from surface events or development.

The surface of the monument includes forest containing one of the last
old growth stands of ponderosa pines in the Hills. Lithograph and Hell
canyon wind through the monument. The pines, cracks and crevices in the
canyon walls, and Jewel Cave itself provide habitat for a variety of
wildlife including the Townsend\'s big-eared bat (*Corynorhinus
townsendii*), one of nine species of bats found within the monument.
Jewel Cave serves as a winter hibernaculum for one of the largest known
hibernating colonies of the Townsend\'s big-eared bats.

Jewel Cave today is still largely unexplored, providing unique
opportunities for scientific study. Continuing exploration and
scientific research in Jewel Cave reflect a deep-seated human desire to
venture beyond physical and intellectual frontiers. The staff hopes that
you will enjoy your visit to Jewel Cave National Monument.

**Welcome to**

**Jewel Cave National Monument!**

***Why are we here and what\'s special about us??***

**Purpose** statements explain the reason for the establishment of the
monument. The statements below come from the presidential proclamation
(1908), subsequent legislation, and the National Park Service Organic
Act.

Jewel Cave National Monument was established to:

-   *Preserve the Jewel Cave ecosystem, especially significant caverns
    and other geological features, for its scientific interests and for
    public enjoyment.*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   *Preserve the cultural resources of Jewel Cave for public
    understanding and enjoyment.*

**Significance** statements capture the essence of the monument\'s
importance and describe the distinctiveness and special nature of the
monument.

-   Jewel Cave represents a pristine and relatively unchanged
    underground environment featuring unusual speleothems and thick
    crystal deposits; the cave\'s length and single natural entrance
    also contribute to its unique nature.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Most exploration of the cave has taken place just since 1959;
    scientists have concluded that most of the cave awaits discovery in
    the ongoing process of exploration.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Jewel Cave provides almost unlimited opportunities for exploration
    and, consequently, for scientific research.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Jewel Cave contributes important habitat for 10 species of bats,
    including the second largest known hibernaculum for the Townsends
    big-eared bat.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Jewel Cave exhibits subtle, but critical connections to surface
    geology and hydrology.

**[Visitor Center]{.underline}**

The Jewel Cave Visitor Center first opened to the public in 1972. Cave
discoveries in the 1960s warranted a new and more exciting tour route.
The current Scenic Tour route and the Visitor Center were developed in
an effort to relieve congestion at the original cave entrance, and
provide visitors with another view of the magnificent Jewel Cave.

The Visitor Center offers a staffed information desk, cave tour ticket
sales, guided cave tours and other ranger programs, and educational
materials. Information concerning Jewel Cave, nearby NPS sites, and the
surrounding area may be obtained from park rangers. A variety of free
printed materials are also available. Ticket sales for the Scenic Tour,
Lantern Tour and Spelunking Tour are located at the visitor center
ticket desk or the kiosk (summer only).

Scenic Cave Tours are accessed from the visitor center lobby via two
elevators that descend 234 feet (71.3 meters) into the cave. This
elevator access is one of the two entrances to Jewel Cave. Spelunking
tours are available in the summer by reservation and also begin at the
visitor center.

A 30-minute video introduces the visitor to Jewel Cave\'s fascinating
geologic story; explains cave exploration, survey and mapping; includes
interviews with recent and current cave explorers; and discusses the
challenges of cave protection and preservation. This video is available
for viewing upon request.

A 360˚ display is installed on a computer screen and is available to
familiarize visitors with the many surface and subsurface aspects of
Jewel Cave National Monument. This program is fun and educational for
visitors of all ages. Take an \"electronic\" exploration trip with
current cave explorers to learn more about Jewel Cave and its many
resources.

The remaining section of the visitor center offers exhibits; the
favorite being a wall map of Jewel Cave depicting 86 miles (53 km) of
discovered passageway. Rangers offer a variety of talks and
demonstrations in the exhibit area and the outdoor, covered patio.

Jewel Cave National Monument is open daily, year-round, except the
buildings, park trails, and cave tours are closed on Thanksgiving Day,
December 25, and January 1^st^.

**[Historic Ranger Cabin]{.underline}**

![](media/image1.png){width="2.9166666666666665in" height="2.525in"}

The Historic Ranger Cabin is located one mile (1.61 km) west of the
Visitor Center and Administration building on a spur road just off of
U.S. Highway 16. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) constructed this
log cabin in 1935 and it served as the Monument's headquarters and staff
housing for 60 years. The first rangers to staff the cabin arrived in
1936; they lived in the cabin during the summer and used the front room
as a ranger station and greeting place for visitors.

Another part of this CCC development project included the trail to the
cave entrance, including an impressive stonework stairway, which is
still in use. Even if you are not interested in participating in the
Lantern Tour, the Jewel Cave staff encourages visitors to walk this
beautiful trail about 350 yards (318.5 m) to the historic cave entrance.

The Lantern Tour begins with a journey into history as visitors enter
the cabin with their tour guide who introduces them to what life was
like for the cabin's first occupants. Tickets for the Lantern Tour may
be purchased at the Visitor Center or ticket kiosk during regular
business hours.

Visitors to the Historic Area may encounter Rangers outfitted in replica
1930s uniforms in the vicinity of the cabin and trail. The Historic Area
and Lantern Tour highlight the history, growth, and protection of Jewel
Cave National Monument. In 1935, only a small portion of Jewel Cave had
been discovered, but the Department of the Interior had the foresight to
recognize the significance of the cave. This foresight enabled the
National Park Service, with the assistance of the Civilian Conservation
Corps to develop the ranger station and safer cave trails for guided
tours.

Additional visitor facilities located at the Historic Area include a
small picnic area, vault toilet, and access to the Canyons Trail.

![](media/image2.png){width="0.4in"
height="0.3680555555555556in"}**Accessibility**

The Visitor Center is accessible by wheelchair via a ramp that extends
from the main parking lot. Parking spaces are accessible to the
sidewalk/ramp via curb cuts at the end of the parking lot nearest the
Visitor Center. The outdoor patio and deck are fully accessible. Two
picnic sites in the parking lot are accessible for those with mobility
impairments. Accessible restroom facilities are available at the Visitor
Center and the Historic Area (vault toilet).

![](media/image2.png){width="0.4in" height="0.36875in"}

**Services**

The cave is partially accessible by wheelchair, descending via the
elevator to the first large room of the Scenic Cave Tour route,
accompanied by a ranger. This large room is where the Jewel Cave
Discovery Program takes place. Visitors can hear an explanation of the
geology of the cave and have a limited view of some of the calcite
crystals. Visitors may check with a ranger at the information in the
Visitor Center or the kiosk (summer only) for availability of the
Discovery program. A wheelchair is available for loan at the Visitor
Center.

The Scenic Cave Tour route has low, indirect electric lighting. The
walkway is a brushed cement trail, with railings available on the
stairways only (about 40 flights of stairs with 723 stair steps). In
some areas, the trail includes a significant incline. Cave tour route
stairways and platforms have a metal mesh surface, so any walking aids
should have a wide-tipped surface on the bottom of the cane. Canes or
similar aids are allowed in the cave *only* if they are necessary for
walking and stability. Guide dogs are permitted on the Scenic Cave Tour
route, but it is recommended that because of the metal mesh, the
toenails of the dog should be clipped fairly short. The Jewel Cave
Discovery Program enters and exits the cave by elevator and visits a
single large room within the cave. This program is recommended for
visitors who are physically unable to take any of the other cave tours.
For visitors who have some mobility there are a total of 15 stair steps
down which provide access to a large viewing platform. For those who
cannot do stair steps, there is another flat viewing area which is
accessible.

A thirty-minute audio-visual presentation introduces the visitor to the
many facets of Jewel Cave National Monument, especially for those who do
not take part in a cave tour. Several free publications about Jewel Cave
and surrounding areas are available, including some non-English
translations. Some sales publications are available in German. The Black
Hills Parks & Forest Association bookstore is accessible.

**[Ranger-Led Programs]{.underline}**

**Cave tours and programs** provided by park rangers offer visitors the
opportunity to visit Jewel Cave year round. All cave tours are guided
and tickets for the tours can be purchased at the Visitor Center or by
phone. The cave temperature is approximately 49 degrees F (9 C) with 98%
humidity year-round. A light jacket or sweater and low-heeled,
closed-toe walking shoes with non-slip soles are recommended for the
Scenic and Lantern Tours.

![](media/image3.png){width="2.8in" height="2.140972222222222in"}Cave
tours are only recommended for visitors who are in good health and good
physical condition. If there are concerns about the ability to complete
a tour, please speak with a park ranger before entering the cave.
Persons with respiratory ailments, heart conditions, or knee and joint
problems are asked to reconsider taking a cave tour.

***[The Scenic Tour]{.underline}*** is a ½ mile (.8 km) loop through
some of the most beautifully decorated passages of the cave along a well
lit, brushed cement trail. Access to the Scenic Tour is by elevator from
the Visitor Center. With 723 stair steps, this one hour and twenty
minute tour is considered moderately strenuous.

Cave explorers Herb and Jan Conn discovered this section of the cave in
1962, and recommended to the National Park Service that a tour route be
developed here. This loop proved practical as a tour route because the
passages are large enough for walking, beautiful scenery is close at
hand, and there is no need for groups to retrace steps. Each year,
rangers guide thousands of visitors through the Scenic Tour. Groups of
up to 30 people spend over an hour viewing cave formations and
discovering the intricacy of Jewel Cave passageways.

As this is the most popular cave tour at Jewel Cave National Monument,
the wait for available tours may be lengthy during peak season (July -
August). Advanced ticket sales are available; tickets may be purchased
up to 7 days in advance using a major credit card. Tickets for the
Scenic Tour, Lantern Tour, and Jewel Cave Discovery Program may also be
purchased at the Visitor Center on the day of the tour or at the ticket
kiosk (summer only). During the summer months we suggest visiting the
cave either before 11:30 a.m. or after 3:00 p.m. when crowds are
slightly smaller.

**Interpretive Services continued -**

***[The Lantern Tour]{.underline}*** enters the cave through the
original entrance in the wall of Hell Canyon. This tour is modeled after
those of the 1930s - \'40s and traverses passages discovered by the
earliest explorers. Visitors are guided by rangers attired in 1930s\'
style uniforms, and see the cave by the light of hand-held lanterns.

The original entrance was discovered in 1900 and a cave tour route
developed shortly thereafter by Frank and Albert Michaud. From June -
Labor Day, rangers greet visitors on the front porch of the Historic
Ranger Cabin, the Monument\'s first ranger station.

This historic tour is designed for visitors who desire some physical
challenge, and wish to view the cave from the perspective of early
explorers and tourists. The Lantern Tour is considered strenuous and
includes steep wooden steps requiring deep knee bending and stooping
along a ½ mile trail. Participants are each required to carry a paraffin
oil lantern for illumination (provided), and must be at least six years
of age. Persons with respiratory ailments, heart conditions, or joint
problems are asked to reconsider taking this tour. Long pants and
skid-proof, closed-toe shoes are recommended. Lantern Tours are limited
to 20 persons and take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Tour tickets
may be purchased in advance by phone, at the Visitor Center, or ticket
kiosk.

![](media/image4.png){width="1.8in"
height="1.1041666666666667in"}***[The Spelunking Tour]{.underline}*** is
aimed toward visitors who prefer to experience the cave in its natural
state; it gives a taste of cave exploration and takes visitors off of
the developed tour routes. Participants scramble over cave breakdown,
chimney between cave walls, climb semi-vertical rocks with rope
assistance, and belly crawl through tight passages. The participants
visit 2/3 mile (1.06 km) of the cave and learn about low-impact caving
techniques and safety, cave ecology and geology, and caving equipment.

The Spelunking tour enters the cave by an elevator in the Visitor
Center. Each participant is required to wear a hard hat with an electric
headlamp, old clothes, elbow pads, knee pads, and sturdy hiking boots.
The spelunking tours are limited to 5 persons, approximately 4 hours in
length, and considered extremely strenuous. Reservations are required
and may be made up to 1 month in advance. Reservations for the
Spelunking tours can be made by calling the Monument at 605-673-2288.

***[The Jewel Cave Discovery]{.underline}*** is a program which lasts
about 20 minutes in length and visits one chamber of the cave. This
discovery talk is recommended for visitors physically unable to take a
tour. It is also a nice option for visitors who are limited on time or
have very young children. It is free to the pass holders of the America
the Beautiful Interagency Pass and up to 3 other adults.

**[Surface programs]{.underline}** emphasize the obvious and
not-so-obvious connections between the hills, forests and canyons we see
and the underground world. Experience how human activity and nature
interact with the cave through a variety of talks, demonstrations, and
guided walks. Surface ranger programs and activities are offered at the
Visitor Center. Inquire with a park ranger about presentations that
interest you. Demonstration and program topics may include cave
exploration, area history, fire ecology, wildflowers, wildlife, and
other subjects. Activities include children's programs, games, and walks
for all ages. Programs are scheduled daily from mid-June through August.
There are no fees for these activities.

To celebrate the 100^th^ Anniversary of Jewel Cave National Monument,
park rangers will be conducting two new programs during the summer of
2008. Two Centennial hikes and two Centennial talks will be offered
daily beginning the second week of June through the middle of August.
Please inquire about starting times at the Visitor Center.

![](media/image5.png)

**[Junior Ranger Program]{.underline}**

Young people age 5 through 12 (and their families!) are invited to
participate in Jewel Cave National Monument\'s Junior Ranger program.
Free booklets are available from staff at the visitor center information
desk. A range of activities, including surface hikes, Junior Ranger
programs, and participation in a cave tour are followed by the
opportunity to visit one-on-one with a Park Ranger.

The Junior Ranger program helps children become familiar with the
diverse resources within our National Park System. They have the
opportunity to develop an understanding of the need to protect the
environment, and learn how they can actively participate in that
protection. At Jewel Cave, young people can discover both surface and
cave resources and learn how they are interconnected.

Those who wish to earn a Junior Ranger badge may do so by participating
in a tour of the cave, completion of the booklet, and having it checked
by a Park Ranger.

**[Suggested Preparation for Cave Tours]{.underline}**

All cave tours at Jewel Cave National Monument are ranger-guided. Scenic
tours, Spelunking Tours, and Discovery programs depart from the Visitor
Center, while Lantern Tours depart from the Historic Area. Cave tour
routes have trail surfaces that may be uneven, wet, and slippery.

[The **Scenic Tour**]{.underline} enters and exits the cave from inside
of the Visitor Center via an elevator. The tour route traverses
approximately one-half mile (.8 km) of cave, through a combination of
passageways and large rooms, and negotiates a total of 723 stair steps
(the equivalent of about 40 flights of stairs). The tour trail is a
combination of brushed cement surfaces, and stairways with a metal mesh
surface. Some ceilings along the tour route are low, requiring some
bending. Several metal platforms are raised substantially above the
floor. Handrails are provided on stairways and platforms for your
safety.

The Scenic Tour is considered moderately strenuous. Persons with heart
or respiratory conditions or other physical limitations, or who have
been recently hospitalized should reconsider taking this tour.

Low-heeled, closed-toe, rubber-soled shoes are recommended. Do not wear
sandals or shoes with leather or hard-composition soles. A light jacket
or sweater is recommended, as the cave temperature is a cool 49 degrees
Fahrenheit (9 degrees Celsius) year-round, with about 98% humidity. Even
on the hottest summer day, visitors should realize that they will be in
the cave environment for over an hour and will likely become overly
chilled without a jacket or sweater.

Photography is allowed within Jewel Cave however tripods and monopods
are not permitted. Those wishing to photograph during the cave tour are
reminded that it is necessary for tour participants to stay with the
rest of the tour group; several stops will be made throughout the course
of the tour. High-speed film is recommended and flash photography is
allowed.

Eating, drinking, smoking or chewing tobacco, gum, candy, and seeds are
not allowed in the cave. We do not allow any large purses, handbags,
diaper bags, or backpacks in the cave. There are no restrooms within the
cave.

**[The Jewel Cave Discovery Program]{.underline}** enters the cave the
same way as the Scenic tour and takes place in the first room of the
cave. There, visitors participate in a 20 minute talk about the geology
and history of the cave and can view calcite crystals. This program is
for visitors who are not physically able to do the more demanding tours.
There is an accessible area for this program. A light jacket is still
recommended since the cave is only 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Pictures are
allowed, but tripods and monopods are not. This program is free of
charge to pass holders of America the Beautiful Passes.

**[The Lantern Tour]{.underline}** begins at the Historic Area, 1 mile
(1.6 km) west of the Visitor Center area via a short spur road off of
Hwy. 16. Participants meet at the circle of benches just south of the
Historic Ranger Cabin. To reach the cave entrance, the tour group will
walk approximately 350 yards (318.5 meters) down a hard-surfaced trail,
including a flight of stone stairs. This tour is physically demanding,
requiring much bending, stooping, and going up and down steep,
ladder-like stairs. The cave tour route is the natural surface of the
cave floor in most areas, including hard-packed earth, mud, and rock.
Each participant carries an oil-burning lantern for illumination.

Because of the demanding nature of this tour, there is a minimum age
requirement. Children must be age 6 or older, and must be accompanied by
an adult. Participants are required to wear sturdy footgear with low,
non-skid soles; hiking boots or athletic sneakers are recommended. While
a light jacket or sweater is recommended due to the cool, damp nature of
the cave environment, participants will be more physically active than
they would on the Scenic Tour. Purses, handbags, cameras, and other
loose items are discouraged, as participants will need to use their
hands and arms to provide stability during the tour.

The Lantern Tour is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours in
length.

There are no restrooms within the cave. Eating, drinking, smoking or
chewing tobacco, gum, candy, and seeds are not allowed in the cave.

![](media/image7.png){width="0.375in" height="0.375in"}**[The Spelunking
Tour]{.underline}** is by far the most physically challenging of all of
Jewel Cave\'s tours and should be attempted only by persons who are
physically fit. Anyone having claustrophobia (the fear of closed-in
places) or acrophobia (a fear of heights) should not attempt this tour.

Participants must be 16 years of age or older. All participants are
required to provide proof of age, upon request. A parent or legal
guardian is required to sign a waiver of responsibility for a 16- and
17-year-old participant. The parent or guardian is required to remain at
the Monument throughout the tour duration.

Participants are required to pass through an 8 1/2 inch by 24 inch
(21.59 cm by 60.96 cm) crawl space before beginning the tour. Tour size
is limited to a minimum of 2 visitors and a maximum of 5 visitors. Tours
may be cancelled due to lack of the required number of participants or
due to emergencies at the Monument.

Reservations are required and may be obtained in advance by calling the
Jewel Cave Visitor Center at 605-673-2288. The fee is \$27.00 per
person. Reduced rates are available for Golden Age/Senior Pass holder
only and Golden Access Pass holder only.

The National Park Service provides the loan of a hard hat and head lamp
to each participant on the Spelunking Tour.

The participant provides the following:

-   sturdy, above ankle, rubber-lug-soled, lace-up leather hiking boots
    (high-topped gym shoes are not acceptable)

-   long pants or coveralls and a long-sleeved shirt

-   gloves (leather gloves are recommended, but canvas gloves are
    acceptable)

-   a change of clothing and shoes, and a plastic bag for carrying
    soiled clothes and boots after the tour

-   soft, athletic knee and elbow pads (required)

![](media/image8.png){width="4.04375in" height="3.375in"}Clothing and
footwear will probably be permanently stained by the manganese deposits
encountered during this tour. Jewelry and cameras are not permitted on
this cave tour.

**[Surface Trails]{.underline}**

![](media/image9.png){width="0.5375in" height="0.6in"}There are two
self-guided trails at Jewel Cave National Monument and one U. S. Forest
Service trail located approximately 1 mile (1.61 km) west of Jewel Cave
National Monument's Visitor Center entrance on Highway 16. Printed
information on all three trails is available at the Visitor Center and
at the Historic Ranger Cabin (in the summer). The trails are diverse:
from a ¼ mile (.4 km) to over 5.5 miles (8.9 km), from level to steep
and rugged, and everything in between. There is bound to be at least one
trail just right for you.

When venturing out please keep in mind the following trail courtesies:

-   ![](media/image10.png){width="2.547222222222222in"
    height="3.0in"}Please stay on designated trails and don't cut
    switchbacks.

-   Tell someone your route and carry a first aid kit.

-   Pack out your trash and if you find trash along the trail, please
    pick it up.

-   Carry drinking water with you on the trail.

-   Be prepared for weather changes.

-   Please -- no pets allowed on trails.

-   Please do not pick the wildflowers.

-   Natural features must remain undisturbed.

-   Watch for poison ivy, rocks and other hazards along the trail.

-   In summer, check your body and clothing frequently for ticks.

-   Since the Jasper fire of August 2000, the monument's trail system
    has suffered damage from flash flooding. Many sections of the Canyon
    Trail are deeply rutted.

[Monument Self-Guiding Trails]{.underline}

***A Walk On The Roof Trail***

Length: ¼ mile (.4 km) loop. Allow 30 minutes for the walk.

Location: The trail begins at the covered patio area outside the Visitor
Center lobby and returns to the north end of the Visitor Center.

Features: This trail lets one discover how the monument's surface and
sub-surface resources interact. As you wind your way through the
Ponderosa pines, imagine the cave below you, stretching in every
direction. An overlook located approximately 100 yards (91 m) from the
Visitor Center provides a magnificent view of the forest and canyons.

Conditions: Moderate inclines. Not handicapped-accessible.

***Canyons Trail***

Length: 3.5 mile (5.6 k) loop trail. Allow 2-4 hours to travel the loop.

Location: The trail begins at the covered patio outside the Visitor
Center lobby and winds its' way down into Lithograph Canyon. Turning
right at a fence the visitor enters Hell Canyon and strolls along a
combination of unpaved road and meadows to a sign that leads to the
Historic Area. From there it is ¾ mile (1.2 km) back to the Visitor
Center.

Features: This trail provides an opportunity to become more familiar
with the surface resources and geologic features at the monument.
Lithograph Canyon, Hell Canyon, the limestone cliffs, ponderosa pine
forest, deer, wildflowers, birds and bats are just a few of the
resources the National Park Service has been entrusted to protect at
Jewel Cave National Monument.

Conditions: Moderate to steep inclines. Not handicapped-accessible.

grades are level to easy. The last 2 miles (3.2 km) follows a two-track
road along the bottom of Hell Canyon.

Features: The trail follows a bench below limestone cliffs and provides
outstanding views of Hell Canyon and the surrounding area

Conditions: Elevations are from 5,400 to 5,700 feet ( to meters). Trail
