Red Baron Cave At a Glance

Location:

Utah County, Utah

Time:

3-6 hours

Length:

973 ft

Depth:

181 ft

Description:

This cave is one of the most decorated caves in Utah. Anchor your rope to a tree that is split in half. Rappel down about 25 feet into the entrance room. At the back of the room, there is a gate. Past the gate, it gets very tight, but it opens up after about 20 feet. You may want to take off your helmet at this point and push it ahead of yourself. As there are hundreds of delicate formations throughout the cave, please step lightly and watch your head. Formations include calcified roots, stalagtites, and helectites. The most decorated passage is off limits for recreational trips. Red Baron Cave is quite cool year round, so long sleeves are recommended.
