Review of Crawford
This a great opportunity for anyone wanting to explore (with free guided tour, in season) one of Washington’s longest caves. The path within the cave is a combination of natural rock and metal walkways, with plenty of illumination to see the flowstone, rimstone pools, stalactites & stalagmites.
