The entire Big Brush Creek, along with thousands of acres of snowmelt, flows into the cave during spring runoff. It is the second longest cave in Utah at 4.92 miles and 858 feet deep. Best time to visit would be in summer through fall. If you have snowmobiles winter is a good time to visit. Avoiding visiting during spring dew to high unexpected, deadly runoff.

	The cave is part of a larger caving system, and is similar to its brother, [[Little Brush Creek Cave]]. Ice crystal formation up to a foot long, and ice structures over 20' long, make this cave an amazing winter wonderland. Inside the cave, passage ways are narrow and cold. Many tunnels are plugged with logs and debris forced into it in past floods. Much of the cave is spent crawling and winding over very tight passages.
