The two agencies performed a land swap in 1965, establishing the present boundaries of the park, and enabling the development of a new part of the cave. The Park Service sunk a 300 feet (91 m) elevator shaft to a previously remote cave area, and built concrete walks and metal stairs and platforms along a one-half-mile loop. The "Scenic Tour" was opened in 1972. Most modern-day visitors tour that part of the cave. In August 2000, an 83,000 acres (340 km) 4266: 4286: 103: 78: 4276: 3889: 1349: 839: 887: 831:
Jewel Cave is open year-round. The Park Service offers three tours: the scenic tour, a half-mile loop through a paved and lighted central portion of the cave accessible by elevator; the historic tour, a candlelight tour through the earliest-discovered part of the cave; and a wild caving tour, through

The discovered areas in the cave account for only about 3–5% of the estimated total air volume of the cave, which is believed to be roughly 8 billion cubic feet (230 million cubic meters). This puts estimates for the total length somewhere between roughly 4,400 miles (7,100 km) and 7,300 miles

Frank and Albert Michaud, two local prospectors, discovered the cave in 1900, when they felt cold air blowing out of a small hole in a canyon. It is unknown whether any previous inhabitants of the area were aware of the natural cave opening, which was not large enough for a person to enter.

Much of the new discoveries lay outside the boundaries of the monument, under land managed by the 377:(11,700 km). The cave volume is estimated by measuring the amount of air that the cave "exhales" when the outside air pressure drops and "inhales" when the outside air pressure rises. 1968: 1454: 3812: 318: 5320: 2061: 1878: 1843: 874: 2014: 1983: 1938: 1918: 1903: 1893: 1873: 1858: 1853: 1838: 1574: 3148: 2024: 1978: 1913: 4279: 4269: 3832: 3805: 1908: 1888: 1848: 1963: 1798: 4315: 1883: 1813: 1803: 850: 1401: 149: 2840: 5315: 2855: 2754: 2604: 2116: 816:
