Mitchell Caverns, Ca

Arrived at Mitchell Caverns in Providence Mountains State Recreation Area in Mojave National Preserve. Seems like wherever the State has a good park, the Feds surround it with more park. Good going.

Looks Bad! Turned out cold. It's snowing here as I wait for the 10am tour. It melts as it hits the ground, but it's cold all the same. The peaks are covered with a dusting of snow as well.
It rained last night and there evidently was quite a lot in some spots on the road up here, many sandy ravines where the blacktop used to be.





Mitchell Cave is a well decorated cave.

The trail to the cave. I wouldn't want to hike it in mid summer.
