You have to visit the Oregon Caves to witness the glory of the original Marble Halls in Oregon. Located bang inside the Siskiyou Mountains, the majestic natural wonder was created as a result of rainwater originating from the old forest and dissolving the area’s marble. The spectacular marble cave is a sight to behold today, and is exquisite network of endless marble caves. Other than a subterranean stream known as Styx River, the cave network features rooms such as the Banana Grove and Paradise lost. Believe it or not, there are formations here called popcorn and bacon. For those wanting to spend more than a day exploring these caverns, there are several campgrounds and even a chalet.
The mammoth Marengo Cave is replete with stalagmites and stalactites, segregated into two distinct parts, the Dripstone Trail and the Crystal Palace. While the Crystal Palace features innumerable formations and gigantic flowstone deposits, the Dripstone Trail has pole stalagmites and subtle soda straws. Theirs is a cute wishing well, where visitors can throw pennies up on the ceiling. There are about eight varied formations to admire. Take a tour of both the sections to save on entry charges or you’ll be left with leaving it for another time.
