When you visit Howe Caverns, be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes... and to bring your imagination.

There are many distinctive rock formations within the caverns, such as this one named "Two Witches of the Grottoes." Can you see the two witch faces? The top witch has a rounded nose and a pointy chin. That pointy chin becomes the hooked nose of the second witch.

Feel a chill? It's not from the spooky witches. The cave's temperature is a constant 52 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, so you may also want to bring along a light jacket or sweater.
