Mammoth Cave is a lava tube located on the Markagunt Plateau in the Dixie National Forest of Southern Utah and is one of the largest lava tubes in Utah. The cave has over 2200 feet (670 m) of passage and is about a quarter mile (400 m) long. It was formed by cooling lava and water less than 2000 years ago. Due to moisture and its elevation of 8050 feet (2450 m) above sea level the cave stays cool year round.The cave has four chambers the largest to the west.
