This has been the emphasis under the management of the third generation of the Dunlavy family to run the caverns. Your tour will include two caverns, Lincoln Caverns and Whisper Rocks.

Why? Because one of the formations looks like a Chinese pagoda. My favorite formation is cave bacon. It looks like a giant strip of bacon. There was also a wising well. It looks about three inches deep, but it's three feet deep. A really cool thing is a beaded wall with formations on it that look like little beads. In Whisper Rocks there was an interesting fossil. It looked like a seashell. There were things called bulbous stalactites that looked like eyeballs. There was an interesting thing called an upside down riverbed. There was also a cave organ. It makes musical notes when you hit it. |
