The Little Known Cave In Maryland That Everyone Should Explore At Least Once

Looking for a unique adventure? While there aren't a ton of caves in Maryland, the Old Line State does have one of the most impressive and underrated caverns in the US, and maybe even the world. Check out this one-of-a-kind spot that deserves your attention.

Crystal Grottoes Caverns is located in Boonsboro, Maryland. Travel along Route 34 and be on the lookout for this sign.

The caverns here were discovered in the 1920s during a quarrying project. Blasting was then used to create an entrance, and today you enter though this building that surrounds it.

Be sure to bring a jacket when exploring Crystal Grottoes Caverns. The temperature remains at a crisp 54 degrees year-round.

Unlike show caves in surrounding states, this spot remains one of the most naturally kept caves in the world. There's nothing fake about it.

It's also known to have more formations per square foot than any other cave known to man. Pretty impressive for such a little known spot.

Keep your eyes peeled for all of the little details.

You'll pass through tunnels...

...be surrounded by endless formations that are thousands of years old...

...and maybe even see some sparkly sights as well.

Because of how unique this place is, we recommend that all Marylanders visit at least once. You won't be disappointed.
