Wind Cave: South Dakota
You can view indigenous animals roaming the plains above ground, but below, the Wind Cave’s remarkable geology dazzles travelers keen on taking the plunge underneath the surface.
The Wind Cave is notably renowned for its speleothems, or cave formations, developed by calcium deposits as a byproduct of limestone water erosion. The most famous speleothem in this location is boxwork, which presents itself in a honeycomb pattern.
This cave is home to the most intricate and widespread formations of boxwork in the world. Many of them can be seen through the park ranger guided tours available all year round.
