Southern Nevada Grotto Details
The Southern Nevada Grotto was created in order to explore, document, and protect the natural caves that form in southern Nevada. The group consists of caving enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life, and they have quarterly meetings at the local REI. All are welcome to join and participate. Some of their biggest projects within Great Basin include exploring new caves, documenting them, and aiding park rangers in the process of protecting the caves from outside disturbances. These caves took thousands of year to form, and they can be destroyed in an instant by humans who don't understand how to properly explore them and leave them unchanged. The grotto's mission is to educate people about the caves and protect their integrity.
