Crystal Onyx Cave, Cave City, Kentucky

This is a very pretty cave. Once again Gary and I were
the only 2 on the tour. Cost for this cave is $10 per person.
There are about 200 stairs, but they are broken up and not
in one area. This cave has rooms that you go down into then
back up again. Very beautiful calcite formations and large
draperies. This cave was also used as an Indian burial place.
About 56 remains have been found in the cave. However,
they cannot be viewed.


Calcite formation.


Dripping soda straw formation. Stand under them long
enough and you will get a "cave kiss"


Huge Drapperies
