    This is one of the most spectacular video tours on YouTube! There should be a lot more of these 'virtual walking tours' of caves! This one was jaw-dropping AWESOME!
  • @CindiLeach
    thank you for this virtual tour. i have been to this site and there is no comparison to visiting these awesome natural wonders
  • Beautiful virtual tour! We were just at the park recently and did the 30 minute tour. It’s cool to be able to see the rest of the cave!! Thank you for putting this together for people to see. Keep up the great work, This was a beautiful park to visit 🙂
  • Absolutely amazing, looks better than Imax 3D. Thanks so much for posting this.
  • @terrablader
    If this is an Unreal Engine project file or files, is there a plan to make a demo version available so people can walk though on their own?
  • @teflonrobg
    Are both tours available year-round? We're planning to go at the end of April. Thank you.
  • @lecutter9382
    You guys should make a game set in the Underdark with this. :)

    Tartarian architecture used columns everywhere, and I mean everywhere. The columns served a free energy purpose.
  • @radthesnake
    i only found out about this place coz i googled how stalagmites form and it sent me to a website by the Lehman NP service or some shit. This is dope, i hope to visit some day.

    Watching on an iPad. The tour is beautiful, almost as good as going through in person. Sadly tapping the bats does nothing, guess they only work on computers. I hope there are more National Parks virtual cave tours on YouTube.

    Please adjust the sound it overrides the voice. Thanks

    Glad to see it this way. I'm a bit too claustrophobic to walk through that. I could perhaps do the walk, but not if I had a bunch of people behind me and in front of me.
  • @laquitacreel
    How does water running through there cause vertical lines?
  • I'm interested in how this was created. It looks like some sort of imaging was done in order to create a 3D model of everything, and that's what is being shown. Or are these the real caves well lit?
