An additional tour is found at the Slaughter Canyon Cave. Ranger-guided tours take you into an underground wilderness without electricity, paved walkways, or modern conveniences. In this wild cave, darkness is broken only by the light of lanterns carried by rangers and flashlights carried by tour members. Highlights of the 2-hour, 1 1/4-mile tour are the 89-foot-high Monarch, one of the world's tallest columns; the sparkling, crystal-decorated Christmas Tree column; and the Chinese Wall, a delicate, ankle-high rimstone dam. Old bat guano mining excavations can be seen. A strenuous 1/2-mile trail must be hiked to the cave entrance, where the tour begins. Sturdy walking shoes, flashlights, and water are required.
