Luray Cave

a celebrated cave in Page County, Virginia, seventy-eight miles southwest of Washington. The cave is in the Shenandoah Valley under the western spurs of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cave consists of numerous chambers in a limestone formation. Striking stalactites abound. The extensive chambers and passages were explored in 1878. While not so well known as the Mammoth Cave, the Luray Cave is considered quite as wonderful. Electric lights reveal a fairyland of marvelous red, brown, and yellow.
