Cool underground tours

‘Okay’ rating Posted over 3 years ago

So, if you're looking for a really amazing geologic phenomenon, you should check out Kartchner Caverns. In Aug. & Sept. 2008, they're offering discounts (40 percent, I think) on admission. The Rotunda tour is really cool.

People who won't go in caves because they say they're claustrophobic may not have trouble in here (it depends onthe person). My mom went in and was fine. There's one point where you're in a room that could seem a bit close, but for most of the tour, you go thru high ceiling rooms and there's plenty of room and air.

It's a living cave, which means it's still being formed. Water drips down thru the ground to form stalactites and stalagmites. They have these "soda straws" that are "baby" geologic formations. See this cave! It's cool!
