  Mammoth Cave, at 8050 feet in elevation, opens to one of the largest lava tubes in Utah, with over 2200 feet of passage. Formed by cooling lava and flowing water, Mammoth Cave is part of the Markagunt Plateau. Ecologists believe that some of this lava is only several thousand years old – relatively young in geologic terms! During summer months, the cave is a popular nightly resting spot for several bat species, and is also frequented by other small birds and mammals. On a clear, moonless night, Mammoth Cave, hidden from city light pollution, is an excellent spot to view the spectacular night sky!
