Modern Day
Today, over 2000 visitors come to Cody Caves Provincial Park every summer. Visitors are guided through the caves on a one hour tour with a professional interpreter.
The caves are accessible to everyone, from expert cavers to novices and families. Special three hour long adventure tours as well as school and group tours can also be arranged.
As of September 2011, guided tours and cave access have been suspended to prevent the spread of fungal 'White-Nose Syndrome', an infection that is currently affecting bat colonies across North America. Cave visitors are advised not to carry caving gear from areas east of the Rockies into any BC caves, and enouraged to download and read the website's supplied documentation on White-Nose Syndrome and procedures for decontamination.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or day:
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a man’s tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yes, I know.
Death sits with his key in my lock.
Not one day is taken for granted.
Even nursery rhymes have put me in hock.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
