- Here is our guided audio tour of the history of the Luray Caverns and how it was discovered as well as facts about the formations and areas. Some of the formations and areas you will see are the Amphitheatre, Fish Market, Dream Lake, Pluto's Ghost, Pluto's Chasm, Proserpina Column, Skeleton Gorge, Titania's Veil, Giant Redwood, Saracen's Tent, Fallen Stalactite, Giant's Hall, Double Column, Cathedral, the Great Stalacpipe Organ, Wishing Well, Morrison's Hall, Fried Eggs, Veteran's Plaque and Stebbins Avenue. Located in Luray, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley right outside of Shenandoah National Park, this was a really awesome tour.
This is the second episode of our Appalachian Mountain series where we took a two week road trip from Shenandoah National Park down the Blue Ridge Parkway and explored the Great Smoky Mountains. From hiking various portions of the Appalachian Trail up to summits and balds, to exploring majestic waterfalls and bluffs and historical mills and cabins deep within Appalachia, we definitely enjoyed seeing the beauty of America's National Parks.

![4 Essential Stops in SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK [4K]](/img/n.gif)
That is such a cool cavern. I never heard about it before until your video. The room with all the reflections from the water was like looking in a mirror, and your right, the stillest water in the world.
I hadn’t heard of it either! So much amazing stuff to see. Apparently that area of Virginia is known for its caverns.
What a cool area. We've not explored Luray Caverns but have heard about it. Giants Hall looks really cool. Love how you explained everything. The columns are really neat as well. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks! Contrary to what people think of us, we don't just hike and kayak. This was very relaxing and a wonderful way to get out of the rain. Definitely want to come back!
Wow that cave is beautiful 😍 I love the dream lake. We visited a similar cave years ago in Virginia.
Apparently there’s a lot of these in Virginia. Largest concentration of them
Went again today so beautiful and peaceful
Totally agree! I don’t know if it’s like that all the time, but when we went they didn’t let the place become too crowded. It was nice to not feel rushed.
Wow this is amazing video, discovery room and the Giant Hall is also amazing. You did a really great job capturing all of these wonderful views! Thanks and stay safe !
Thank you! 🙏
Absolutely exquisite isn't it?! Thanks for reminding me of this place...time we plan a trip there :)
It was awesome. Definitely want to go back again now.
@@MagellanandGreyhound I really like these spots...there's another one even closer to us called Dixie Caverns if you want to mix it up a little next time ;)
@@MountainRoots haha definitely! we didn't realize that this part of the country had so many caves!
Very nice video.I went there with my parents last week. It so amazing rocks inside. Big like for my new friend💖
It really was. Glad that were able to visit too!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing friend. Success for your channel
Thank you!
Wow 🤩 I am soooo jealous!!!!!! I want too 😊 Amazing episode guys...enjoyed it ❤️
Thank you! It really was an amazing place.
Another thing i found amazing is they still have the original ladder and opening where the guys first came in and also their lantern they used. To think about climbing into a sink hike in the ground with only a candle is amazing in itself. The reflection pool is simply amazing. I to thought at first they were coming up from the bottom. Amazing place
Right? We are adventurous, but I don’t think either of us would say, let’s get a ladder and a lantern and go down into this unknown cave! The only cave more stunning that we’ve been to is Carlsbad.
Wow this is very interesting! What an amazing stalagmite formations! Have never seen such as beautiful as these. Even more so fascinating the names given to the different formations! Really very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Full view and I really enjoyed it. 🧡👍
Thank you! We had no idea so many of these places existed! Now we want to visit all the caves in the world 😆
What?! It totally looks like there are stalagmites under the water. That water is incredibly tranquil. Pluto's ghost is really cool! And that has to be the most unique organ we've ever seen. Would love to close our eyes and just let that sound engulf us.
It was definitely a rad place. Fortunately the organ sounds much better than how we picked up the sound. Can you imagine listening to moonlight sonata in there?
@@MagellanandGreyhound Ooooh! That would be magical!
@@theryanstravel1699 😊
Wow this place mesmerizing. Great experience.
It really was! Need more caverns in my life
This video is fantastic! I want to go! Thanks! ❤
Thank you, and you will love it!
What a spectacular place. Those formations were just amazing. We haven't been Carlsbad Caverns either. I bet to see Dream Lake in person was probably jaw dropping.
Dream Lake was right at the beginning too. You HAVE to go to Carlsbad. And make sure you don't take the elevator down. Walk down through the front large cave entrance. That place was unreal. It's probably a really long day drive out there for you both too.
@@MagellanandGreyhound maybe we can make it an overnight weekend trip. Thanks for the trip.
@@OpenRoad4Two Definitely. And hike in nearby Guadalupe if you can too. We loved that place so much, we went twice.
That's an amazing grotto! Can you believed we travelled to Georgia...the country, not the state...to see one like that. next time, we go down south :)
That's still awesome! Georgia (the country) is on our list of places to visit when we visit the Ukraine, Russia, etc. Check out Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico as well. It's a UNESCO site, way bigger and they are still uncovering connecting caves!
@@MagellanandGreyhound thanks 🙏 for the NM tip. And btw Georgia 🇬🇪 is an awesome 😎 country with amazing landscapes.
@@Autourdumonde1 Can't wait to check it out one day!
@@MagellanandGreyhound you’ll not regret it
Nice place and tour friend
Thank you !
that was a great tour my dear
Thank you! It was fascinating. Hope you get to visit one day.
Amazing place, Giants Hall is breathtaking! big 5 like
Thank you! I think we were watching each other’s videos at the same time. 😝
@@MagellanandGreyhound haha you are right!!! Happy weekend my friends!!
@@CelticPaths4k you as well!
Wow this place is amazing!
😀
Beautiful place
It really was!
I have been there so many times I cant count them all
Wish we could say that! Loved this place.
@@MagellanandGreyhound
I like to try new things/places…
Well done chaps. We are going there next week. This really got us in the mood! Bravi!
Thank you so much! You will absolutely love it! If you're into hiking there are some really great spots nearby as well in Shenandoah National Park. Underrated park
nicely done!
Thank you! 😁
I can't believe that you missed the 'Fried Eggs!' They are right in plain sight and illuminated!
We can’t believe it either. It’s not even like we filmed it and lost the video. I would like to tell you we were hungry, tired or distracted, but I don’t know haha. Next time! Such a cool place
I hi honey
