Timeline
06:35
Arrive at the cavern entrance amphitheater. The 60-foot natural limestone slab bridge spans the area above you. Settle in to watch the sky lighten toward the west.
07:35
Sunrise happens at 07:35. The sun sets toward the west, casting long shadows across the sinkhole and the limestone slab. This is the key moment for the view.
08:05
Stay for the golden light that starts around 18:30? No, that is evening. Enjoy the morning clarity and the scale of the cavern entrance as the sun fully clears the horizon.
