Overview

Hype:

Bloomington Cave is the fifth largest cave in Utah, at a length of 1.30 miles and a depth of 240 ft. Bloomington Cave is a fault cave. The cave trends north and south with a western plunge of about 40 degrees. This plunge allows the cave to be descended to its maximum depth without ropes. The cave is three-dimensional fracture maze. The cave’s floor consists of large steps that are pinched off by a consistently sloping ceiling. Many of the walls turn up to be low connecting passages. At many locations the walls are indefinable. And many passages overlie each other. Many of the passages appear as if they were carbon copied at hundred of locations throughout the cave.

Story

We did the green route starting at the south entrance and ending at the north entrance. It was a lot of fun. I carried Cooper in a front pack. Miller did his own climbing, assisted by Anthony. And Tara and Arianne helped Savannah and Madilyn. We didn't take very many pictures because we were focusing on keeping the group moving.
