Top 10 Cave Adventures in National Parks
Did you know that 4 of the 10 longest caves in the world lie within US National Parks and that Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest of them all at more than 400 miles long?! We’ve had the good fortune of exploring many of these subterranean wonders and have created a list of our Top Ten favorites for you.
Exploring underground is never easy, and the experience can swing between exhilarating and downright terrifying in a split second; especially if are claustrophobic or a mile deep and your cave starts filling with water! Once in New Mexico, our cave suddenly flooded, and we had to escape through tight squeezes on our backs with only our nose above water. And then, we had to return days later to rescue our cameras!
Despite the perils, venturing into territory that very few people have ever seen is incredibly thrilling. The dark underworld holds untold secrets, and you never know who or what you’re going to find. If the thought of embarking on such an adventure alone makes you hesitant, fear not! Join us as we recount our top ten cave expeditions, sharing the thrill, the beauty, and the sheer awe of these hidden landscapes.
For our full cave episodes and more heart-stopping moments, follow the links provided below this description. Let's dive into the unknown together!

Glacier National Park is one of our favorites because it was one of the FIRST national parks we explored when we were students at the University of Montana. Also this is one of the first of more than 150 episodes we produced over the last 10 years. Looking back at our younger selves we’re astonished at how much we still had to learn about the wilderness but are also a bit nostalgic for the thri...
Adventure in the Land of Oppenheimer

When we first planned our road trip to New Mexico and beyond, Oppenheimer and what would become an epic blockbuster was the furthest thing from our mind. We were initially drawn to White Sands National Park, one of the world’s greatest natural wonders and the largest deposit of gypsum sand on earth. The 275 square miles of bright white sand dunes is mind-boggling, especially when you consider h...

We visited Gates of the Arctic National Park in September when the ice hadn’t yet formed, and the grizzlies were busy packing on the pounds for winter. Gates of the Arctic is the second largest national park in the US with no facil...

    What I like the most about this new patch is the utility of previously useless loot. It's forced a reprioritization of loot, and that's great.

    I was there last week just came across this video right now amazing I want to do the hike one day. That was a pretty devoted hiker up until a couple years ago developed some health problems I'm in my early forties but I can still train hopefully to do that someday. I've seen people do it in one day it's pretty crazy but it's a lot better to get to enjoy it and not rush through it in a couple days. Thanks for the tips! 😎🤙🏼

    It took 3 years to repair some cracks and stones on the Washington monument. Meanwhile China was building entire hospitals in a week at the start of the covid19 pandemic. Gotta love America! That Baltimore bridge just collapsed a few months ago, I bet that will take at least 20 years to replace.
