Elevator Problems Affect Cave Tours At Wind Cave National Park In South Dakota

Share
By NPT Staff - November 11th, 2016

Limited cave tours are being offered at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota due to elevator problems.

All tours are now entering and exiting the cave via the Walk-in Entrance and proceed only as far as the Post Office Room. Visitors will need to descend and climb up 155 stairs, which is equivalent to climbing a 15-story building.

Tour times remain the same, leaving the visitor center at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. but only Monday through Friday. There will be no tours on weekends and holidays. Tour sizes have been reduced from 40 people to 20 people on a tour.

It is unknown how long the elevators will be inoperable, a park release said.
