Longhorn Cavern State Park

On our spring anniversary trip, we took a day to visit Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnett, Texas. This park has a long history including the Civilian Conservation Corps who built the original administration building. They also did a lot of the excavation work making the cave accessible to the public in the 1930’s. The cave has a long history of use from Comanche Indians to a weekend dance hall in a large open part of the cave.

The cave is accessible by paid tours only. Randy, our guide, was excellent. He is a retired fireman and has been guiding there for several years. His historical knowledge and humor made the 1.5 hour tour very enjoyable. The temperature inside the cave was a cool 68 degrees, and we descended about 132 feet below the ground at its deepest.

Caves have always amazed me with their formations and beauty. God’s handiwork is amazing to witness in our great outdoors. Isaiah 2:19

God bless you and thanks for reading my blog.
