Because caves can be fragile environments, each tour is limited to 18 participants.

Experience a Wild Cave

After a short hike through the woods, you will crawl into the cave opening. At the end of the program, you will crawl back out!

Silver Hill Cave opens into a large room with many formations.

Participants will learn about cave etiquette, caving safety (helmets, lights and gloves provided) and how to protect caves. Everyone will get dirty and perhaps muddy if conditions are very wet, so wear clothes that don’t matter. Wear sturdy shoes - absolutely no open toes or sandals.

Cavers will learn about a variety of animals that live in caves and

learn what makes the Ozarks karst topography and how caves form.
