    Imagine walking down that hallway under the transparent pool, looking up and seeing someone swimming above you. Imagine swimming and watching people pass under you. Amazing. I wish I had one of those in my house. I’d have so much fun with visitors.

  44. Rebecca

    WoW never heard of the cave pool in Midway, Utah. I need to take a visit there, now that the weather is starting to get a little more colder. I have lived in Utah for past 7 yrs and never have heard of this pool. Interesting! And me being from Arizona, I would love to swim in that pool here!
