Caverns of Snonora Details

Take a walk deep through the depths of this cave system and encounter some of the rarest geological features found in the United States. Calcite crystal formations, complex helictites, and 100-million-year-old limestone walls make it a unique attraction guaranteed to be unlike anything you've ever seen before. Although the cave is believed to be 7 miles long, only 2 miles have been excavated and opened to visitors. The majority of the rooms and corridors sit 155-feet below the earth's crust and maintains a constant balmy temperature of 72 degrees (although with 98% humidity, it feels more like 85 degrees!).
