What You Need For Your Cave Tour!

You have booked your next fun experience- a beautiful cave tour in Missouri! (Can't say we blame you!) You may be an experienced caver, or you may be new to exploring the gorgeous caverns throughout Missouri, but our team at Bridal Cave is here to provide you with tips on what you are going to need for your cave tour!
Read more below to find out what you should pack along on your next cave tour trip!
1. Clothing
At Bridal Cave, our cave stays a nice 60 degrees, meaning clothing-wise you can pick and choose based upon your preference and the time of year, but to stay on the safe side, if you wear a short-sleeved shirt, it may be best to grab a light jacket. When exploring our scenic Missouri cave, you should also be sure to wear pants and tennis shoes to keep yourself protected, as well as keep yourself comfortable as we trek along the hour-long tour! 

2. Flashlights
If you are going to explore a cave by yourself, you should always be sure to bring essentials like flashlights, headlamps, etc. However, when you are going on a guided tour at Bridal Cave, you won't need to bring anything like this, as our pathways are lit up, and well-maintained! This means you won't have to stress about getting lost or hurt, as we will guide you along our safe, well-lit tour! 

3. Food/Drink
When you go on a cave tour, you may find yourself getting snackish or needing a drink along the way, so you may want to grab a bottle of water for the tour, and maybe pack a light snack to give you that extra boost along the way! (Especially if you are traveling with kiddos or are planning on partaking in any other activities following the tour!) 
These are some of the recommendations we have for you when you go on your next cave-exploration journey! Of course, bring whatever makes you the most comfortable and wear clothing that will be easy to move in as we progress throughout the tour!

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

The History of Bridal Cave

Image
Bridal Cave has a very interesting past.  It's story goes back long before the Lake of the Ozarks was created.  As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans were using caves in the area for shelter, and more than likely Bridal Cave was one of those used.  We will begin this tale with the first organized exploration over 150 years ago of what is now known as one the best attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks . Bridal Cave Visitors Center, 1968 1856   The first organized exploration of portions of Bridal Cave is recorded.  B.D. Dodson is credited with this feat.  The next major exploration is done by S.W. Burke four years later.   1894 Over 5400 acres of land is purchased by Colonel R.G. Scott.  That area is now known as Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and it includes Bridal Cave.  Colonel Scott is very impressed and wants to know how it got the name Bridal Cave, so he begins researching the subject.  He is credited for being the first person to publish the now famous legend of Brida
