This spectacular limestone cavern has become such a popular destination that it is now virtually impossible to get inside without making reservations weeks in advance because the number of walk-up tickets per day is limited. However, the massive multicolored cave formations may be well worth the call and the required 49-mile drive from Tucson. There is a visitor center, shaded dining area, picnic area and campground.
