Endless Caverns, Show cave in New Market, Virginia.
The underground system stretches across 5.5 miles of passages, featuring mineral formations, chambers, and natural stone structures formed over thousands of years.
Two boys discovered the cave entrance in October 1879 while hunting rabbits on Reuben Zirkle's farm, leading to initial candlelit tours of the chambers.
The cave system serves as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes, mineral formation, and the role of underground water systems.
Guided tours lasting 75 minutes operate every hour during summer months, with visitors needing to wear appropriate footwear and warm clothing.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year and houses colonies of little brown bats along the tour route.
