KARTCHNER CAVERNS STATE PARK

This massive limestone cave was discovered in 1974 by two amateur cavers from Tucson.  The world-class formations are considered to be some of the best in the world.  The cave was kept a secret for 14 years in order to protect it from vandalism and preserve its delicate ecosystem.  The cave boasts  over 13,000 feet of passages and two rooms the length of a football field!  The temperature inside the caverns average 68°F year round with 99% humidity.

Enjoy a guided tour or visit the Discovery Center.  Shaded armadas, outdoor dining area, camping, hiking and walking trails await you.
