Badlands - Mud Caves and Canyon Sin Nombre
The length of the mud caves varies, with some extending over
1000 feet and featuring ceilings as high as 80 feet. Caves have been reported
up to 35 feet wide, and others so narrow, you have to squeeze through openings.
Multi-level caves with skylights have been found, where erosion has created an
opening, or sinkhole, in the ceiling of the cave. Some of the caves are fairly
easy to navigate while others may require you to crawl in sections.
