Definitely stop here! It wasn't too far off the road from shell wy and its a facinatingb geological oddity. Be mindful of the roads. When it rains it might be too muddy for a smaller car. It's all on a dirt road

Cool hole in the ground. A few miles off the highway on a dirt road. Worth a quick stop
