Don't Forget to Look Up

While you're squeezing and ducking your way through The Winding Way, be sure to stop every once in a while to look up. You'll see some phenomenal sights and be reminded that you're surrounded by an underground compartment that took shape some six million years ago.

The cave's limestone walls were carved over centuries by an underground river. Imagine the force of water required to cut through these rocks, leaving the ridged patterns and sculpted formations visitors see today.
