cave this October with a new state of the art light system that
greatly enhances visitor viewing and more accurately reflects
the caves natural colors. The new lighting system creates less

It also stops algae growth and helps to preserve the caves
delicate ecosystem. The park office has added a new exhibit that
gives visitors an up close view of live bats and has a video
showing the main cave and the Selman Bat Cave. Program options
for visitors include a one hour guided walk through Owl Cave, a
