	Bloomington Cave has been known since the turn of the century with the establishment of St. George. With the city growing only miles away, this well-known cave is facing increasing vandalization. In the mid-1950s, the Utah Dixie Grotto actually dynamited the cave’s entrances shut because they believed the cave was too dangerous. The cave was quickly dug open. Spray-painted graffiti littered the walls of the heavily traveled routes. In 2005, as a large volunteer effort, large emounts of the graffiti was removed through sand blasting. In July 2009, the cave entrances' gates were completed and access was placed under a free permit system. The cave receives about 1,000 visitors/year with spring break being the heavily visitation time.		Bloomington Cave has been known since the turn of the century with the establishment of St. George.

	Bloomington Cave is a fault cave. The cave trends north and south with a western plunge of about 40 degrees. This plunge allows the cave to be descended to its maximum depth without ropes. The cave is three-dimensional fracture maze. The cave’s floor consists of large steps that are pinched off by a consistently sloping ceiling. Many of the walls turn up to be low connecting passages. At many locations the walls are indefinable. And many passages overlie each other. Many of the passages appear as if they were carbon copied at hundred of locations throughout the cave. The cave is truly a mapping nightmare!		Bloomington Cave is a fault cave. The cave trends north and south with a western plunge of about 40 degrees.

	A cave register was added to the cave in March 2000 despite the belief that it would be stolen, trashed, or burned in a short matter of time. It wasn’t until November 2000 that the PVC register had been whacked to bits. The register was replaced. The register has recorded a total of 753 people visiting the cave in the 11 months from April to March. This is an average of 2.2 people/day!

	The cave is accessible through BLM maintained roadway off of a neighborhood street called Navajo Dr. From there, drive up Cottonwood Wash. This is a moderately harsh road that would involve the requirement of a 4WD vehicle. Alternatively, an easier route can be taken from Highway 91 that most standard cars can take, at the expense of a longer trip from nearby St. George. Take the Apex Mine road and take a left at the first mainroadway fork (a sign is present), and this will get you into coming into the Bloomington area from the west.

Larger caves in Utah include [[Little Brush Creek Cave]](5.93 miles), [[Big Brush Creek Cave]](4.92 miles), Duck Creek Lave Tube (2.28 miles), and Main Drain Cave (1.47 miles), Bloomington Cave still contains many unmapped passages. Several thousand feet remain to be surveyed.

			Bloomington Cave is a fault cave. The cave trends north and south with a western plunge of about 40 degrees. This plunge allows the cave to be descended to its maximum depth without ropes. The cave is three-dimensional fracture maze. The cave’s floor consists of large steps that are pinched off by a consistently sloping ceiling. Many of the walls turn up to be low connecting passages. At many locations the walls are indefinable. And many passages overlie each other. Many of the passages appear as if they were carbon copied at hundred of locations throughout the cave.

In the mid-1950s, the Utah Dixie Grotto actually dynamited the cave’s entrances shut because they believed the cave was too dangerous. The cave was quickly dug open. Spray-painted graffiti litters the walls of the heavily traveled routes making Bloomington Cave the one of the most colorful caves in the country!

			A cave register was added to the cave in March 2000 despite the belief that it would be stolen, trashed, or burned in a short matter of time.

			Kyle Voyles, President of the Color Country Grotto, has been working to educate the public how to conserve the cave. He has created a cave education curriculum that he teaches to scout troops. The register shows that these groups are now independently performing trips to collect trash from the cave. Kyle is working to develop larger scale cleanup projects. A change is visible in the future.
