Coronado Cave- by Poff

Today we took a trip to the Coronado Cave.  The Coronado Cave is 600 feet long and has a lot of corridors.  People are allowed to explore the cave without a guide.  We took a mile hike uphill to get to the cave.  We increased our altitude by 600 feet just on the hike.  When we arrived at the cave, we had to hike 50 feet down steep rocks into the mouth of the cave.  After that decent, we went exploring.  My mom was scared the entire time and said she would not go anywhere she couldn't see the mouth of the cave.  Luckily, we all had flashlights.  It was pitch dark in the cave, and my mom ended up coming with us to the end of the cave where there was no light.   Exploring the cave on our own was one of the coolest things we have done!
