There are many tours offered.
Most of the tour is level and easy. There is a quite a climb at
the end though. This cave harbors the largest room in Texas.

This is a short cave, but an

been an abundance of rain. |

Notes:
This is a very nice cave. The
formations in the cave are quite nice and there are several fairly
good sized rooms as well. There are several switchbacks, but they
are easy and the rest of the cave are fairly even. This is a must
see on my list. |

Notes:
This cave has a short flight of
steps into and out of the cave. Once in the cave it is an easy
walk through carved rooms where water once followed. There is a
room of beautiful calcite formations that is very impressive and
flint nodules are seen throughout the cave. |

Ice Caves New Mexico

|
Notes:
This is actually an enormous
lava tube! There is a flight of steps to a small platform just
under the lip of the lava tube where you are chilled because you
are just over the ice pack. This ice dates back to the ice ages.
This is a really neat experience, not to mention a volcano to
climb right next door! :) |

Sonora Caverns Texas

TRIPODS OR BACKPACKS. This cave is very tight in spaces... |
|
|
Notes:
My all time favorite cave.
Though slightly strenuous this cave is so highly decorated that
you can't figure out if your out of breath because of the walk or
the beauty of the cave. There are really only a few tiring
spots in the cave. Most of the formations are pure white.
The amount of helictites is astounding. |

This cave is practically hidden.
Its a nice cave with a good variety of formations. Its a small
cave though and a flight of narrow stairs in and out are
required.

Notes:
This cave was a very pleasant
cave. Very easy trails a small flight of steps is certainly no
problem. There are nice formations, some protected by Plexiglas.
It is a very commercialized cave though. Outside the cave is just
as beautiful as inside. |
