For a smaller state, Maryland sure does have a lot of natural wonders. One of the most underrated spots is actually a cave and it’s perfect for explorers of all ages. Check out this hidden gem at least once, which is known as one of the most naturally kept caves in the world.

Crystal Grottoes Caverns is located in Boonsboro, Maryland.
