There is a cave high in the Egan range wilderness that has a 120ft vertical entrance that drops into a large room with some interesting dog tooth spar crystals in some sections of the cave.
The cave itself is quite difficult to get to and requires a real 4x4 to get to the top of the mountain and a hike over to the cave entrance.

I was delighted to see how this cave resembled a bit of the caves back out east in TAG with its big room feel and sheer wall drop.

on the walls there were these geode features with dogtooth spar crystals which was pretty rare to see among caves that I have visited in general.We photo documented the cave a bit and headed back up to the surface. upon our exit, we spotted another lead in a wall but it appeared to be more of a wind cave with the collapse and the rock that the cave was made out of but it might be something more to check out.
