Inside Jewel Cave

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

If you're planning a vacation for the spring and summer months, consider staying right here in South Dakota.

We check in at Jewel Cave National Monument for a look at the wonders beneath the state. Aimee Murillo, chief of interpretation, gives us an update on what to expect on a cave tour and what not to do as a tourist.

Plus, we learn about ongoing exploration and discovery as Jewel Cave's secrets continue to be unearthed.
