Shoshone Ice Caves

Shoshone Ice Caves

Once a source of ice for the town of Shoshone, these lava tube caves are not the most interesting, but there are legends that they are haunted by the Indian Princess Edahow who was buried in the ice.

At one time, a badly placed entrance to the caves made most of the ice melt. This problem has been fixed.
