Alabaster Caverns State Park

Spelunking is a pretty cool word and an even cooler thing to do! We’re talking about exploring caves! How about the largest open-to-the-public alabaster cave in the world? Now that is something that needs to be seen. At Oklahoma’s Alabaster Caverns State Park you can take hourly guided tours into this wondrous underground to immerse yourself in rare forms of gypsum along well-lit paths. Or you could get a permit for wild caving and explore on your own terms. This area is the only gypsum cavern in the U.S., so it's pretty special. Camping is available in the park for a memorable getaway for a few nights, where you can enjoy wildlife viewing and picnics amidst the natural setting. Seriously though, spelunking!
