Onondaga Cave - Giant Rocking Chair

The natural beauty that characterizes Missouri is more than skin deep. Missouri, the Cave State, has more than 5,500 caves, and some of the state's most scenic natural wonders lie beneath the surface -- in caves. We visited one Missouri cave and feel it stands out above the rest -- Onondaga Cave in Onondaga Cave State Park.

Deep underground there is a world that nature has created using water to form deposits of tall stalagmites, dripping stalactites, active flowstones and many other colorful deposits. Onondaga Cave, a National Natural Landmark, and Cathedral Cave showcase these natural wonders, which can be viewed during cave tours.

Oh yeah, and after the cave we drove a couple miles down the old route 66 to see the worlds largest rocking chair. Located in Cuba, MO, this giant rocker is just one of many reasons to visit this little town, which is also home to tons of amazing murals.
