I was born in Waynesboro in 1945 and grew up in California. My mother was born in Luray in 1928 and grew up on the family farm there. I visited my grandfather,, Lester Kibler (who was also born in Luray sometime in the late 1800s), in 1962--he lived on the Skyline Drive--and he showed me around the awesome Caverns! He said when he was a boy, he and a friend played in and explored them. When they were a little older they took visitors on tours--unofficial tours, I'm sure, because there probably wasn't even a national park established yet. I'd love to see this beautiful place again while I'm still on Earth.
The caverns are impressive but its way too touristy! They dont even give you a your guide! I recommend the natural bridge caverns they are much smaller and less impressive but they tour guides make it a much better time and there are no crowds
Natural bridge also has a lot of other activities; the handheld lantern tour, the adventure tour where you climb into another part that isn’t open to general tours. It’s pricey but definitely more options. Luray just add it much easier to manage and they have one tour a day, every morning at 8:30 I think.
It is like a point of mass murder if exist a dam outside, if they open then suddenly all filled with water. The sand looks lightbrown, maybe was inside sea? Beach is lightbrown sand.

Thank You So Very Much for share, first time saw your Skline Dr & this Luray😊
Went through Luray Caverns in 1974 great place to visit
We agree! Thanks for watching
That’s roughly around the same time I was there. It wasn’t so commercialized back then, though, disappointing to see what they’ve done with it.
I live in Appalachia and have never heard of this. I need to listen to this Stalactite Organ. That's incredible.
Well, that's the first time I ever heard "Moonlight Sonata " on a cavern organ, and it wasn't too bad !!!!!!
It's even better in person! Thanks for watching
So beautiful!! 👍
Going Next weekend, I can't wait. 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
How was it?
Beautiful
Man, I went there on a school trip back in 1980 when I was in the 5th grade.
One of my favorite places
And so close to DC!

Lived near there for many years in Front Royal, VA and never visited

What are you going on about? To jump to that idea from just seeing a cavern is a disturbing reflection of your mind.
