Ellison's features many large pits, including two of the deepest pits in the contiguous United States: Fantastic and Incredible . These two pits lie on opposite sides of the cave. Technically, the location named Fantastic is one of several rappel points into the massive TAG Hall canyon. Fantastic is the upstream end of TAG Hall and All-in-One (374 feet) is the furthest downstream. The Smokey I (500 feet) rig point is midway along the length of the canyon. Additional notable pits and domes elsewhere in the cave include New Pit (256 feet), Smokey II Pit (262 feet), Snowball Dome (265 feet), and Broken Dome (281 feet).
