Not to be confused with the Crystal Cave near Kutztown, Pennsylvania, this Crystal Cave can be found close to the previously-mentioned Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park. It is said by some sources to be “an excellent example of a marble cavern.” Due to the fragility of the formations found there, it is presently only accessible via a guided tour.

Here you can visit one of the last Fire Lookout Towers in which a friendly, helpful park ranger actually lives.
