Shenandoah Caverns - Skyline Caverns
The picturesque valleys and meadows found throughout the
Shenandoah Valley’s Blue Ridge Mountains are filled with
rare underground formations that have formed over
millions of years. In fact, this area of Virginia has
three great Caverns in Virginia attractions!
Luray Caverns
is perhaps the most famous of the VA Caverns in the
area, but two others, the Shenandoah Caverns and the
Skyline Caverns are also wonderful underground caves to explore
on your Virginia Vacation. Our Luray Virginia Cabins Rentals are convenient to all three
caverns!
Anyone who has traveled along I-81 near New Market VA has probably seen the peculiar large pixie that beckons visitors from the interstate to Shenandoah Caverns, one of the world’s most unique underground attractions! For over 80 years, since 1922, visitors have been able to tour Shenandoah Cavern's unique cavern system and see its incredible natural formations and extraordinary geology. Large formations like the “Breakfast Bacon”, “Diamond Cascade”, “Capital Dome” and cavern features like the Long View Hall and Rainbow Lake were featured in past issues of National Geographic and are still admired today by visitors touring the Shenandoah Caverns. Located right off of I-81 at Exit 269, Shenandoah Caverns can be toured in about one hour, and it is almost 80% wheelchair and stroller accessible. In fact, Shenandoah Caverns is the only Caverns in Virginia that has its own elevator service.
Located at the northern end of the Virginia Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park is another VA Caverns attraction, the Skyline Caverns. The Skyline Caverns is the only set of Virginia Caverns and one of only a few in the world where visitors can see anthodite formations. Anthodites are aptly called the “Orchids of the Mineral Kingdom” as they form and grow upwards, defying gravity. Their unique white spikes grow in all directions, however,
their growth rate is exceptionally slow, about one inch
every seven thousand years! Geologists are still baffled
by their unique growth pattern, thus adding to the allure
of Skyline Caverns.
Tour the Skyline Caverns and bask in the splendors of nature! On your tour you will get to see formations such as “The Painted Desert”, “The Wishing Well”, “The Grotto of Nativity”, “The Shrine”, Cathedral Hall, a 37 foot Rainbow Waterfall, and the magical Fairyland Lake.
