I love exploring caves and caverns. I'm looking to take a trip next year to visit some awesome caverns. Have you been inside some terrific ones? What are the best caverns to explore in North America? Why are they the best? What are details of typical costs, etc?

A fairly newly discovered cave system in Arizona - Kartchner Caverns.

Kartchner Caverns State Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles (3.9km) of passages.[1] The park is located 9 miles (14km) south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Long hidden from view, the caverns were discovered in 1974 by local cavers.
