Inside the cave

Juniper runs about 2,363 feet and links with Hercules Leg for a longer through-trip. Expect multiple low sections, including a passage near 2.5 feet, that require crawling. A helmet and three light sources are required, and a free permit with white-nose syndrome screening is issued at the visitor center.
