Or actually a cavern. What's the difference? Our guide said a cavern has a gift shop. (he's at the cavern all week, folks, thank you very much)
I spent yesterday at Kartchner Caverns, this amazing wet/living cave that was discovered only in 1974. I know I'm repeating myself, but if you ever find yourself in southern Arizona, you have to come here.
AZ State Parks is doing a great job minimizing the impact of visitors. You enter the cave through a series of airlocks, then you get sprayed down with misters, so you lessen your chances of shedding something to contaminate the cave, and also to minimize the amount of moisture you absorb from it.
I wasn't allowed to take pictures, so this one is from www.explorethecaverns.com.
