Caves within a few hours of St. Louis
Caves within a few hours of St. Louis
I've been wanting to find some natural caves within a couple hours of St. Louis for awile now. What I'd really like to see are caves with massive formations and huge rooms like the show caves. Any suggestions from those of you who are more into the spelunking side of our hobby?

Try one of the local caving clubs.

Tell them you are interested in caving and would like to attend a meeting. They won't tell you where the caves are but there are some huge caves less than two hours from St Louis. Trust me, I've been in them,,,,,but I won't tell you where they are at either.
