Minetonka Cave

 Our first day trip from Bear Lake (Fish Haven, ID) was Minetonka cave.  It was a HUGE cave near Paris, Idaho that was accessible by guided tour.  We showed up at 12:00 and got on the 12:30 tour.  This tour is strenuous, with 888 steps all together, with 77 down (and then up) at once!  It was very worth it though as the cave was simply beautiful.


It was a nice 40 degrees and dark inside the cave the whole time.  One of the rooms in the cave was longer than a football field and 2 1/2 stories tall!  Wow!  It just kept going and going!
We really enjoyed all the formations and the different rooms inside the cave.  Well worth the hike in and then back out!
