Black Chasm Cavern/Sutter Gold Mine

Another old trip here!
This was a great day trip to Amador County. It is a beautiful 45 mile drive from Sacramento. Amador County is famous for its numberous vineyards. Along with the vineyards there are beautiful rolling hills and breathe taking caves and mines.

 Down below about 75 feet are brilliant blue pools of water.

Stalactite forming in the cavern.

Apparently this cavern is known for it's helictite crystals.
