Description
Speleology is the scientific study of caves.
Penn's Cave is the only cave in Pennsylvania placed on The National Register of Historic Places. The limestone cavern, rich in geology and history, is a natural landmark that is a stunning example of nature's flawless beauty and color. Glittering stalactites and stalagmites often appear in mysteriously familiar shapes, such as "The Statue of Liberty" and "The Garden of the Gods". See how dripping water has sculpted magnificent flowstone, curtains, cascades, and draperies against a background of pillars and gigantic columns.
The 50-minute interpretive tour includes a motorboat trip that winds through cavern passageways and, when weather permits, a ride on Lake Nitanee. The cavern tour is on flat-bottom motorboats, which accommodate 20-22 persons.

talk about an interesting perspective Mary Beth Landis! I have absolutely no idea what I am looking at....but I love it. I play guitar and when I first looked at it; it looked like I was looking up the fret at the tuning keys. So it was very interesting reading what you said about how they often appear in familiar shapes...voted
