If you are planning to be travelling anywhere near the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in northern Arkansas, you should not miss the chance to explore the Blanchard Springs Caverns. The Dripstone Trail tour is open all year round and has paved pathways with handrails that enable visitors with wheelchairs and strollers to access a significant section of the beautifully lit caverns and see a variety of crystalline formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and columns.
If you are fit, you can choose the Discovery Trail instead (June to August only), which includes over 700 stairs and explores the middle level of the cavern system. Daredevils can try their hand at real spelunking on the guided Wild Cave Tour.
