Holmes Cave, Wyoming

Postby rlboyce » Jan 11, 2014 8:37 pm

Can anyone give me more information about Holmes Cave in Wyoming? I stumbled across it in Google Earth, and I want to know more. It looks like it has the potential for being incredibly deep. Has any group thoroughly mapped and explored this one yet?

There is a pretty detailed description of Holmes Cave plus a map of the cave on pages 181-183 in this "Caves of Wyoming" PDF.

It might take a little while to upload the pdf.

Thanks Greg! This is exactly what I was looking for. It sounds like it drops fast, and gets impressive fast. Too bad there is a siphon at the end of it. Also sounds like there may be another way on. I wonder if there is air? I wonder if anyone has pushed the limits of this cave recently?
