We visited Cody Caves Provincial Park today. They are located in the Selkirk Mountains just outside of Ainsworth, BC, where we will be situated until Monday, August 27th. When you get to the park there is a 10 minute hike up to the caves.
We arrived early and hiked up the hill with one of the tour guides (Michael pictured here).
Here is a picture of the cave entrance.
Another guide (Fraser) took us on a 1 hour tour and commentary of the caves. We had a ‘personal’ tour as we were the only two up there. But it gets busy as the day goes on. They tour around 80 people a day on average in the summer. Some groups are small (like ours) and others are large (up to 14).
It was quite amazing. The stream that runs through Cody Caves is underground and flows for 800 metres through limestone and calcite formations.
Some of these formations are very fragile. Here is a picture of a limestone formation that they call “leopard spots” for obvious reasons.
