A popular cave near Chinook Pass in Central Washington will be closed for part of the tourist season to help prevent the spread of the deadly white-nose syndrome in bats.
Boulder Cave attracts about 35,000 visitors a year who hike though coniferous forests along a short, National Scenic Trail to explore the 475-foot-long cave. Normally, the cave and the trail are open April 1-Oct. 31.
