Jewel Cave National Monument
Venture underground to discover the treasures of this national park.
With more than 208 miles of underground passageways, Jewel Cave ranks among the longest cave systems in the world. Discover the subterranean wilderness on your choice of four cave tours, including a scenic stroll along paved trails, a lantern-lit cave trek, and an epic crawl-and-scramble caving expedition. Marvel at the glittering calcite crystals, stalagmites, and unique rock formations, then head back above ground to hike through the forests or visit the historic cave entrance. There’s no campground at the Jewel Cave National Monument, but campers can find plenty of options in the surrounding Black Hills National Forest.
