The Bureau of Land Management is now limiting access to Southern Utah's largest cave.
Bloomington Cave, has become a prime target for vandals in the past couple years.
So starting July 6th, if you want to see the cave you'll have to get a permit.
In 2005 volunteers spent days cleaning graffiti and trash out of the 1.3 mile long cave.
That's why the BLM is making visitors have permits now.
The agency plans on giving out just three permits a day allowing ten people per permit.
The ticket in will ensure cave-explorers have the right equiptment to stay safe.
The B-L-M willl enforce entry by having combination locks on the gates.
Although exploring the cave will take a little more work the BLM says they're new online site will make the process easier.
For more information on how to obtain a permit visit their website: blm.gov.
