“Caves are just big holes in the ground with rocks in them. Whoop-dee-doo.” - Dwight Schrute Not so fast. What kind of cave is best? Definitely not a ridiculous question. Not sure? Cave Week is a great chance to enjoy, celebrate and learn about all things caves. The National Park Service manages and preserves over 4,000 caves across the United States within national parks and monuments. These caves vary in size, shape, and geological features, and each offers a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and learn about the underground world. Some of the most well-known cave systems preserved by the National Park Service include Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Have you visited a cave in a national park? Are you in one right now? Wow, the WiFi must be good.
