I have wanted to go to Lehman Caves for a long time and we finally found the time to go. If I had known how great it was going to be, I would have definitely gone sooner. We left Friday afternoon. It was the deer hunt in Utah, so we felt like it would be a good time to get away. It's about a 3 hr. drive from Mt. Pleasant.
We camped in one of the campgrounds that is close to the caves. We went with the Stakers, so of course we had a good time. It was fun to sit around the campfire and just visit. We took the 90 minute tour the next morning. What a great cave! I couldn't believe all of the neat formations.

The natural cave opening. There is about a 60 ft. drop to the cave floor.
A few cool formations.
After the cave, we went up the mountain to hike to find the bristlecone pines. Janae can use them in her leaf collection for Biology.
The bristlecone pines are the oldest trees in the world. They have found some that were "born" about 1700 BC.

This was a great area to camp and hike. We would love to come here again.
Next trip: probably Grand Gulch or Kartchner Caves.
