Under the gently rolling hills of Calaveras County, protected from the summer sun and winter's blast, are hundreds of limestone caverns. Most of these gifts of nature are only accessible to the privileged few who know where they can be found, and who have the adventurous spirit to climb into the dark unknown with only their wits, their agility, and a trustworthy flashlight at their side. Fortunately, there are several breathtaking examples in Calaveras County that are open for the public.
