Cave Without A Name
|
Commercialized
in 1939, this cave has
a unique story behind its name. A contest held to find a name left a
local student as winner. The student said that, "The
cave is to pretty too have a name" and the cave received its name. The cave
is located near Boerne, TX a little drive out of town takes one on a
scenic drive to the cave. Go 11miles Northeast
of Boerne on FM474 to reach the cave. |

There is a flight 126 steps stairs that
go down about 90 feet into the cave. Going down the steps is not a
problem. However the stairs are the only way in or out of the cave and
while going down is easy, going up 126 steps can take a good deal of
energy. Still the cave is well worth the last flight up. The cave is full of awesome views
of stalactites, stalagmites, and soda straws making the trip
well worth it. This cave is said to hold the best 'cave bacon' in
the state. One particular 'cave bacon' is about 22ft long. The Grapes is a very prominent
feature in the cavern and is the only known formation of its kind in
Texas. They are currently restoring the cave to some of its natural
state. |
