"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. "

"I thank You God for most this amazing

day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural ,which is infinite, which is YES."

The cave is about a 1/4 mile from where you park your car. We have rented a gocart and driver to take people from their car to the entrance. Very fancy :)

View of a tree from a Cave in Smugglers Notch

This tall tree found its way out of Jaguar Craw Cave.

This amazing bird was perched up by the big "cave tree" one day on set.

Fire has burned out a massive opening beneath this tree. Several people could go inside it and hang out.
