Cumberland Caverns,Tennessee

Cumberland caverns is located in McMinnville, Tennessee. It is open all year round except especial holidays. This caverns tour is one of the most interesting I've done. Though Caverns or caves are most likely made of Stalactite and Stalagmite, the story itself and how they discovered attracts me.

As I mentioned in my other post,you can check for more here that every caves has its own uniqueness. Some caves are humid, dry and wet. Every rooms in the cave has its own characteristics. One thing I learnt in during my Cave tour,you can't compare the caverns or else you get disappointed. 

Take a look some of these photos of Cumberland Caverns:

  3. Stalactice is a formation that hangs from the ceiling of the caves and the stalagmite is the one that forms on the floor. Beautiful and stunning, but I have never seen one in real
