These caverns were very different from others I had been in, and they are spectacular! It is a small cave, only 7 miles or so in length. But the cave is not as deep underground, and still active. The novel thing about these caverns is that the density of formations is very high - non-stop almost immediately after entry, and it is a tight cave. All the passageways are narrow and just covered in "popcorn", stagmites/tites, and other formations. In places, the ceiling gets a bit higher, and it feels like walking in a slot canyon that is covered in limestone christmas trees and crystals. In one section of the tour, the path leads through what was a geode the size of a dorm room (~8'X10')!
The speed of the tour, lighting and tight spaces made pictures difficult, but I think I got a few good ones to share:
