Four hundred million years in the making, Luray Caverns is one of the most spectacular sights in the eastern United States. Underground chambers, ranging from 30 to 140 feet high, display natural formations of columns, draperies and pools of water. Brick walkways lead visitors through different chambers, each with a wonder of its own. The Cathedral Room has a "Stalactite Organ," the largest natural musical instrument in the world. Guided tours are available every 20 minutes and last about one hour.
