Second Trip to the Icecaves

       

       So after an invigorating first trip to the Ice Caves, we decided to go again. Obviously we made sure to prepare a little better and actually bring water. And a 4x4 vehicle.
If anybody has any questions about the ice caves, the first answer is undoubtedly to take an off-road vehicle. Luckily the Suttons (Shaela, Brooke, and Taylor) brought their Jeep. And like teleporting wizards, we made it to the caves. No problem.

Advice! Just take one off-road vehicle, meet up with the other cars on the pullout after the third cattle guard.

Things do get a little squished in the cave, you've got the giant ice build up on the left that slowly gets closer to the wall. The good news is that you can get up on top of the ice shelf, 

like in this picture to the right. There are several parts where you can stand up, these parts are lined with beautiful ice crystals. Allowing for the occasional dance party/sliding around.

So this trip, I had my camera. These pictures will allow you a better view of the ice caves.

Did I mention the graffiti?

At the back of the main cave there is a giant wall of ice discouraging further passage. I say discouraging because...I personally would like to break through it to continue exploring. But either way, there is a cool slide that you can play on. There is a little trail of footprints carved into the ice that allows you to safely walk up. It's definitely a good ending to the adventure of the cave.
