Horsethief Cave

At 8+ miles, Horsethief Cave is definitely a long one!! It used to connect to Bighorn Cavern by a crawl, but that has been plugged up. Very cool cave! More information can be found at www.wyomingcaves.com.

The gate into Horsethief




The Great Fissure




Don't worry, finger is only for scale. In the Great Fissure, there was a lot of very thin and delicate gypsum hairs along the wall. Care must be taken so you don't damage them.


Some cave bacon






We weren't sure if we could fit through "Denise's Crawl", so we headed back to the cave gate.
