Lewis and Clark Caverns, Three Forks, MT

Lewis and Clark Caverns Tour

This is the season that the caverns near Three Forks, Montana are typically closed for public tours. However, tis the holiday season when they have a few days for their candle light tours!

These caverns were found two centuries ago by a couple of ranchers, and then developed into an attraction that still causes awe and wonder. I went the first time with my daughters’ class in school several years ago. The path through the cave starts at the top and winds down through the hill underground with the exit a winding 2 miles and 2 hours below you.

Days for the candle light tours are limited, running only December 22, 27, 28 and 29, and only from 9:30 to 2:45 during those days. Kids are $8 to age 11, and anyone older is $15! It is a unique experience to view the formations by old fashioned flame, so plan a day and take the kids out for a holiday hike!
