Come check out this wonder, just 20 minutes from Garden City. Water runs down into the cave from the surrounding hills from a small brook creating the ice in this cave.

It is very cold and contains ice even during the hottest summers.

This place of worship is recognized as one of the true pioneer landmarks of the West and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A free, self-guided tour reveals intricate wood ceilings and stone carvings. A small museum houses heirlooms and objects of art left by the homesteaders. Guided tours are also available.
