Utah State archaeologists will lead free tours of Danger and Jukebox caves near Wendover on May 10. The tours will be free and are open to the public, but space is limited and participants must reserve a spot in advance.
Danger Cave is world-renowned among the archaeological community. Investigations at the cave during the 1950s helped to demonstrate and refine the accuracy of radiocarbon dating. Danger Cave also has provided rich information on Utah's earliest-known human inhabitants, who occupied the cave 10,000 years ago.
Jukebox Cave has prehistoric and historic significance. During World War II, personnel stationed at the Wendover Air Base held dances in this cave.
To make a tour reservation, call assistant state archaeologist Ron Rood at 801-533-3564, or e-mail him at rrood@utah.gov and include "Danger Cave" in the subject line.
