Florida Caverns State Park

-

We have been to Panama City Beach many times. Every time we go, we pass the sign for the Florida Caverns State Park. I have wanted to go there for years. Unfortunately, it is too far away to make it a day trip and we never feel like stopping on the way to or back from PCB. Well our last stop on our trip put us 25 minutes from the park. When I realized we were that close, I knew we had to go.

This park was also in the path of Hurricane Michael in 2018. As the sign says, in a few hours, Hurricane Michael destroyed 90% of the tree canopy at the park.

The Caverns were just amazing. Again, all of the rain caused the entrance to the caverns to be flooded, so they had to alter the tour slightly. You can see in the picture below the water on the floor of the cavern.

The stalagmite (up from the ground) and the stalactites (from the top) were just amazing.

There are so many beautiful State parks in Florida. Get out there and see them. Learn more about ‘The Real Florida’ here. https://www.floridastateparks.org

After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.   Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado.   We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views.  As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy. What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash. Next up was the Great Sand Dunes National Park, also in Colorado.  This park is small but the views are really neat.  Check out this swirl cloud formation as we were entering the park.  I have never seen anything like this! The dune is approximately 741 feet tall.  At first it doesn't look very big, but when you see people walking towards it, and then see the little specs at the top of the dune, you get a sense of just how big it is. It was really cool to see the high plains in this area.  We were at about 8100 foot elevation in the picture below. We also visited Mammoth Caves in Kentucky....
