Cody Caves Provincial Park, Limestone cave system in Selkirk Mountains, Canada
The Cody Caves Provincial Park contains an underground stream that flows through limestone passages extending more than one kilometer beneath the mountains.
The caves, discovered in the 1890s by silver prospector Henry Cody, became British Columbia's first subterranean provincial park in July 1966.
The cave network represents significant geological formations, with calcite structures growing at a rate of one cubic centimeter per century.
Visitors can access the caves through guided tours during July and August via a ten-kilometer forest road that branches from Highway 31.
The cave system features exceptional boxwork formations that extend up to 20 centimeters from the walls, exceeding the global average of 2.5 to 5 centimeters.
