“national natural landmark”
Black Chasm Cavern was designated a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service in 1976 after being recommended by local members of the National Speleological Society, and as such is considered a "nationally significant natural area.” Visitors to the cave are enchanted by the beauty of a wide variety of formations including stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and the vast arrays of rare helictite crystals, for whichBlack Chasm Cavern is justly famous. Above ground, kids love our gemstone mining at our mining flumes right outside the Visitors Center. Everyone is guaranteed to find some real gemstones; the perfect start to a rock collection! Try our new incredibly popular geode cracking too!

It's fun, great tour guide, worth the trip! The cavern has special, unique formations. You do need to walk stairs, and bring something warm to wear inside the cavern. Read more
This was a great place for a day trip. We were staying in Angels Camp so it was a little over an hour drive to get there and it's the only cave/cavern tour that is open every day of the week.... Read more
