A few comments about the cave; The tour begins with brief video about the discovery of the cave and cave formation in general. It has a few large caverns, but from end to end It is not more than 1000 foot in total. There are a few spectacular formations, which are photographed here in this page, but for the large part it is a lot of rough limestone. Some of the passageways are cut in parallel to the cave to allow for a better view of some of the formations. If you are within 150-200 miles, I would recommend a visit. |
