1. Full length pants are required. Sturdy pants (such as jeans or cargo pants) with buttons or zippers are recommended as elastic waistbands (sweatpants, leggings, etc.) tend to rip or be pulled down or off when belly crawling. Shorts are not permitted.
2. Long-sleeved shirts are required. Light weight t-shirts or button-down flannel-style shirts work best. Sweatshirts and jackets are too heavy, even with the cave temperature at 58 degrees. Keep in mind that low-cut shirts may be revealing when crawling. Short-sleeved shirts are not permitted.
3. Sturdy, lace-up, close-toed shoes such as boots or athletic shoes with good traction are required. Slip-on, open-to-ed, barefoot/five-toe shoes, hiking sandals, or footwear with openings of any kind are not permitted. Participants that arrive in improper attire WILL NOT be permitted on the tour. No exceptions.
4. No personal caving equipment is permitted on tours. Raccoon Mountain provides helmets, lights, gloves, and knee pads that must be worn at all times during the tour.
