Praying for the families of those who have been killed and their loved ones. I am grateful to Iowa law enforcement for responding to +camp staff for ensuring safety for other campers. Violence cannot be tolerated.

The Natural Bridge, a 50-foot arching bridge, can be seen over the creek. Or you can enter smaller rock tubes such as Bat Passage, where your feet will get wet from the cold water. For a more intense experience in caving, visit Steel Gate Passage.
