There is some natural light that travels in so you don’t need much lighting to bring in with you to see.
It’s a very dark cave so lighting will be required to see but it’s flat ground so you don’t have to worry about stumbling around. There is a short steep hike required to get to the cave but it’s worth it. Once inside the cave it is damp so your feet might get a little wet.
Lehman Cave is actually not in Utah it is just a few miles over the Nevada Border. To get to this cave there wont be any hiking necessary. To find out more information click the link.
