Today we had a great day. We had tickets to have a guided tour of Lehman Caves. It is known for its parachute formation in one of its rooms. 
The tour was 90 minutes, and easily done. Outside was 90 degrees, but inside the caves, it was about 50 degrees. And somewhat humid, which was great since it is very dry in this high desert.
Apsolom Lehman discovered the caves in the mid 1800's, and it was made a National site in the early 1900's. During prohibition, people would come here for some moonshine. It was also a shelter for a nuclear disaster in the 1950's We saw all kinds of formations.
Here are some pictures of them. 
After our great tour, we did the scenic drive up to about 9000 feet to Mather's Overlook. We were going to camp here, but the sites were pretty small, so we opted to stay at the Border Inn RV park, which is 100 feet from Utahborder and Escapees friendly. We are 100 feet from the Utah border and Mountain time where we will head to next.
