Restrict access to foot traffic only to promote public safety and to protect soil and geological resources. Do not allow mountain bikes, horses, or motorized vehicles in caves. Continue to evaluate new recreational attractions and make recommendations based on impacts to cave resources and visitor safety. Prohibit the use of glass containers within caves to reduce litter and provide a safer environment to visitors. Maintain current populations of unique plant species in and near cave entrances by encouraging foot traffic in designated areas.
Current restrictions are from sunrise to sunset.
