Candlelight tours of Lewis and Clark Caverns near Three Forks begin Dec. 15. This is a traditional holiday event for many Montanans. Participants dress for walking in winter conditions, including snow, wind and cold temperatures. To take the winter edge off, coffee, hot chocolate and cookies are available at the visitor center. The tour is two miles in length and takes two hours to complete, including the hike from the visitor center to the cave. Reservations for the tours may be made weekdays, beginning Nov. 26, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by calling 406-287-3541. The tours take place the last three weekends in December, with tour times from 9:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. each day. Candle lanterns are also provided for the tour, which is $15 for adults and $8 for children. Children under the age of five are discouraged from attempting the tour.
