Hi All,
We were last here in 1977! It's amazing how little we remembered. This time we went on a ranger led tour of the King's Palace then toured the Big Room on our own. We spent over three hours more than 750 feet below the surface.
This view across the Papoose Room give a look at several different speleothems (cave formations).
These columns are incredible
As is this drapery formation
In the Queens Room, Ranger Kenny told us about the discovery of the room. Then he shut the lights out. It is amazing to see the same thing with your eyes open or closed
.
The formations in the Queens Room are awesome.
The formations in the Queens Room are awesome.
The Big Room is 114 football fields big; too big for any photograph to convey the immense size. All along the walks are these beautiful formations
And these.
This formation is called the Chinese Temple.
It was a great tour them we drove the coach 165 miles south to Davis Mountain State Park in TX.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
