Kartchner Caverns
Kartchner Caverns is a limestone cave about an hour drive from Tucson, Arizona in nearby Benson. The cave is located in the Kartchner Caverns State Park.
It all began with a few drops of water. A shallow inland sea covered this area 330 million years ago. The water deposited sediment and fossils that hardened into limestone.
Then another 10-15 million years go by. During which the limestone and rock layers uplifted to form the Whetstone Mountains.When in these mountains caverns were formed.
Caverns with massive limestone caves that are home to many outstanding features. Remarkable minerals and formations as well as some winged friends —-bats.
Discovered in 1974, Kartchner Caverns remained a secret until 1988. That is the year it became an Arizona State Park.
