From white’s city to the Caverns is only a 15 minute drive. I arrived for the first group in. It was possible to take the natural entrance and hike another 2 miles into the Caverns, but as I wanted to drive home to Ozuye the same day, I opted for the elevator.
That takes you down 750 feet (228m) in a minute. I’ve visited quite a few caverns, but this one dwarfs all of them. The hiking trail through the caverns takes over an hour.
It’s kind of magical to walk through there almost by yourself.
The drive back went smooth. It’s 7 hours and the 266 miles Interstate 10 is not very exciting but quick as you’re allowed to drive 80 (138km/h)
It’s now 19:45 (7:45 pm) and this road trip has come to an end. It was great fun and I’m already looking forward to the next one!
