Little Parkway
Linville Caverns, NC

Located in the heart of Humpback Mountain, the Linville Caverns offer a spelunking adventure for travelers on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Discovered in 1822, these caves astounded the first visitors with a multitude of geological creations. Because of the mineral-rich water within the caverns, the formations continue to grow and change even today. The caves remain a consistent temperature of 52 degrees, allowing for a unique ecosystem to exist inside them. As a favorite stop along the parkway, the caverns offer guided tours through the lighted walkways.
