Linville Caverns
 Included
Entry with the Go Blue Ridge Card
 Deep beneath Humpback Mountain, nature has sculpted a veritable masterpiece in stone. Toiling many centuries, slowly moving ground water has been the primary artist for this creation of underground labyrinths. The water dissolved out an incredible series of rooms and passages, and created spectacular formations like the “Tobacco Leaves,” one formation that can be found when visiting the caverns.
The cavern was discovered in the 1800’s by men intrigued by the mystery of fish swimming out of the mountain. Since then, extensive research has been done to acknowledge the history, folklore, geology, and biology of Linville Caverns. One can only marvel at the endless information this underground wonder has to offer. The mystery is still alive.
Through the ages, nature has decorated this intriguing inner space with new deposits of minerals forming elegant shapes, multiple textures, and splashing a spectrum of color. Visitors will love taking photos of these beautiful formations, so don’t forget your camera!
