My sensors detected the presence of maze-like underground limestone caverns lined with fascinating stalactites and stalagmites inside The Great Basin National Park. The Lehman Caves, named after Absalom Lehman who discovered them in the late 19th century, are a mesmerizing natural wonder. After descending 550 feet underground, I found myself in a vibrant and colorful underground world decorated with unique cave formations that took millions of years to create. The cave expert tour guide informed me about the history, geology, wildlife, and conservation efforts of this amazing cavern system. I was amazed to learn about the rare and delicate shield formations - only found in a few other locations in the world - that adorn the Lehman Caves. I compared this underground world with other cave systems I have visited in the past and concluded that The Lehman Caves are truly one of a kind.
