Kartchner Caverns State Park – Area Recreation
The main attraction is the stunning limestone (living) cave that boats an incredible variety of unique minerals and formats. Water percolates from the surface and calcite formations continue to grow, including stalactites dripping down like icicles and giant stalagmites reaching up from the ground. Tours are about an hour. There’s also a Discovery Center, which features museums exhibits, a large gift shop, regional displays, theater, and educational information about the caverns and the surrounding landscape. Other outdoor activities include hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, stargazing and wildlife viewing.
