Fantastic Caverns
Show Cave · Springfield, Missouri
The only cave in North America toured entirely by riding - a Jeep-drawn tram carries you along the bed of an ancient underground river for about fifty-five minutes, and nobody walks a step. That is not a gimmick added later; the passage is a wide dry river channel and the tram follows it. It was found in 1862 by a farmer's dog and first explored by twelve women from a Springfield gymnastics club, whose names are still on the wall where they signed them.
