Comercial store bought water bottles like Crystal Geysers are not allowed, however, you can bring your own bottle as long as it's not a one time use. Another note, there's a ton of stairs , more than 800 round trip stairs including one flight up of 72 steps. The limestone in the cave are old, over hundred millions. Amazing how it would take a hundred years just to get to an inch of growth. My favorite in the cave were the "wedding reception" area and "Seven Dwarfs." Tour takes about an hour and there's clean restroom adjacent to the entrance with a washing basin. Really had a great time. Cheers and enjoy!

Our guide Jared had his dad jokes but he was amazing. The cave was beautiful and very cold, but you'll warm up quick breaking a sweat from the stairs. You'll have to purchase tickets at one point then drive up another mile to the staring point of the tour. It tour lasted 90 minutes which time goes by fast. Well worth the trip.

There are not a lot of large memorials or statues to be found here. It's largely filled with modest, low to the ground headstones. The grounds are usually clean enough and mowed, but the cemetery roads are in major disrepair in places and in need of upkeep. Plus the entrances have been dirt piles for years now. Someone in the city needs a kick in the pants. Logan Cemetery is home to a famous internet meme and a local legend. First being the headstone of internet fame, that of Russell J. Larsen. It reads.. "Two things I love most, good horses and beautiful women, and when I die I hope they tan this old hide of mine and make it into a ladies riding saddle so I can rest in peace between the two things I love most". Next is the legend of the Weeping Woman. Visit the prominent statue grave of Julia Cronquist, whom lost 5 of her 8 children in a 12 year span. She spent hours daily weeping among the headstones of her children, which even now surround her grave. Stand in front of her grave at midnight on a full moon and say "Weep woman, weep"..they say she'll cry real tears. I visited once on a full mood, at midnight, but most of our group ran off frightened before any words were uttered. Maybe you will have better luck.

There's mountain views from every angle, wildlife, super relaxing hot springs, a water park, lots of little shops and restaurants, and a lovely river running through it all! We came for a short family vacation during spring break March 2023 specifically to visit the hot springs and it's SO worth it! We even saw wild turkeys walking around haha! The hot springs are perfect for winter! But they also have winter sports available too. In summer they have a water park and even have tubing along the small rapids on the Portneuf River that runs through town. The town is small but has several dining options and cafes and shops - plenty of choice to keep you happy. The people were warm, welcoming and so friendly. My son lives in Salt Lake City and it's not too long of a drive to get here - they come here often so I'm sure I'll be back! Highly recommend!

This is a super quick hop out to take some photos and get back on the road. No service, just the geological formation. The cliff notes on this formation are: about 170 million years ago this area was under the sea. 2700 feet of sediment were deposited over the life of that sea and about 75 million years ago a "mountain- building episode" tilted the sea bed into a verticle position. The harder stone has withstood the wind and rain better than the softer stone around and between, creating this slide. When you think about how old this thing is, it's pretty cool.

The history shared about the Kearns family and past governors was interesting. And the Christmas decorations were the icing in the cake.

The marker reads, "Hudspeth's Cutoff. In the summer of 1849, the California GOld Rush was diverted this way in search of a more direct route to the mines. Stampeding 49'ers would try anything to save miles and time in their rush for California gold: the regular Oregon and California trails looped north of here to Fort Hall, but on July 19, 1849, Benoni M. Hudspeth led a party west from Soda Springs through rough country hoping for a more direct route through a gap 1.4 miles south of here. This immediately became the main road, though it saved far less than Hudspeth thought." I did not follow the same route as the 49ers as I'm leaving California. Maybe next time I will try to recreate some of their route in the van. Minus the dysentery and Indian raids, of course. [Review 17808 overall - 75 in Idaho - 1329 of 2022.]

Home/Museum of James Cash Penney and his family [Kemmerer WY]…read more After visiting the JCPenney mother store we headed towards the end of the block to see the humble home of James Cash Penney and his first wife, Bertha. I was able to do a self-guided tour and see the living room, dining room, kitchen, the back porch and upstairs bedroom. The home had one bedroom downstairs with a second room upstairs. Their back porch was made with packing crates... the names of the store merchants can still be seen on the boards. The home had white picket fences and a cute yard with cobblestone walkway. The museum is free to visit but donations are accepted. James Cash Penney passed away on February 12, 1971 in NYC. He was 95. What an extraordinary life he lived. The historic JCPenney House in downtown Kemmerer was added in 1976 to the National Register of Historic Places.
