Both ends are wide open, but to crawl through to the other side (-100 yards) will require a crawl. Bring a flash light for few minute you'd need one. You can see daylight on either side.

This site is lava tubes which are accessed from a central opening where the ceiling fell in, set in a pine forest. Two of the tubes have small openings that you can shimmy out of rather than returning the way you came in. One of these has a relatively flat floor and is maybe a couple hundred yards long to the other end ranging from about 6 to 3 feet high..The largest tube is about twice as long has & has a high ceiling and is quite large with the floor mostly covered in rocks. This cave is closed in the fall and winter to protect the bats which hibernate there. You crawl through a small opening set in bars to provide access during the summer. This is an unimproved site other than the parking, bat protection and signage in the parking area.. Very easy to experience total darkness if you turn off your light.

We visited this site with our family of about 30 kids and adults. We all enjoyed romping around in the caves and exploring. The site was not well set up, I expected a bit more organization, but that was not a factor in the experience. Once we realized what the situation was, it was good. I enjoyed not having people telling us where to go and where to stand. I wish there was some more historical information for the site somehow listed. We had fun and enjoyed this site as a family.

We've been spending lots of time in Southern Utah and this is the kids' favorite so far. It is different and exciting to explore these lava tubes. There are 5 entrances so you can go through one set and find the next! Some parts inside you can stand, but to make it through you will definitely need to belly crawl over rocks in awkward positions. Make sure to bring a flashlight (or phone)!
