HOT SPRINGS – Wind Cave National Park officials recently announced that cave tours will be suspended beginning May 1 while the park’s elevator system is replaced and modernized.
The elevator system at the park, which provides access to the cave for approximately 130,000 visitors annually, has been problematic over the years due to its aging infrastructure.
