For centuries, the great cavern lay in silence, occasionally providing a challenge for the "week-end warrior", and in days gone by, serving as a home for two brothers, as a shelter for the Indians, and as a secret place for making moonshine. Today, we proudly boast an elaborate lighting system, and safe, dry walkways. Knowledgeable, well trained guides will allow you to stroll leisurely along savoring the breathtaking beauty the labyrinth of corridors and rooms have to offer. Almost one mile of walkways, some winding through great rooms with ceilings reaching an impressive height of 135 feet, provide a full hour of excitement and adventure.
We have spacious parking for tour buses and school buses, and our picnic grounds are designed to accommodate large groups. We invite you to come and spend the day. We hope to see you very soon. Have a safe journey, and please remember to buckle up and drive carefully.

Beautiful rich colors, provided by manganese,
iron, calcium, copper and many other minerals, set the stage for a tour that
will long be remembered. Formations ranging from delicate helictites to
mighty columns, weighing tons, decorate the giant chambers and provide something
new around every bend.
