Natural Bridge Caverns - Discovery Tour in San Antonio Texas
The Natural Bridge Caverns are the largest known commercial caverns in the U.S. state of Texas. The name is derived from the 60 ft natural limestone slab bridge that spans the amphitheater setting of the cavern's entrance. The span was left suspended when a sinkhole collapsed below it.
The caverns are located near the city of San Antonio, Texas in the Texas Hill Country next to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, a drive-through wildlife safari park. The caverns feature several unique speleothems and other geological formations. The temperature inside the cave is 21 degrees Celsius (70°F) year-round and the humidity rate is a constant 99 percent. The deepest part of the public tour is 180 feet below the surface, although undeveloped areas of the cavern reach depths of 230 feet.
The caverns are still very active and considered living. Due to the porosity of the limestone, rainwater travels downwards through the layers of rock, where it dissolves out calcite, a weak mineral that makes up all of the speleothems at Natural Bridge Caverns. After exiting the limestone, water enters the caverns where it flows and drips constantly throughout, causing the formations to retain a waxy luster that can be seen in few caverns.
History:
The caverns were discovered on March 27, 1960, by students Orion Knox Jr., Preston Knodell Jr., Al Brandt and Joe Cantu from St. Mary's University in nearby San Antonio. On their fourth trip into the caverns, the men discovered/explored just over a mile of passage. Subsequent explorations revealed 2 miles associated with what became known as the North Cavern.
After discovery, Orion Knox Jr. assisted the landowners in obtaining information and suggestions for development. Mrs. Clara Wuest (the landowner), wanted to show the world the cave under her property. Orion approached both the National Park Service and the Texas Park System. While both entities agreed that the cavern was substantial and merited development, both groups told the landowners that funds did not exist for their respective groups to undergo such an endeavor.
Mrs. Wuest then decided that she would fund development. Orion dropped out of school to assist. He also approached Jack Burch who had just finished work on developing the Caverns of Sonora near Sonora, Texas. Jack agreed to help and development began early in 1963. Mrs. Wuest remarried Harry Heidemann, a retired Texas Highway Patrolman in the early 1960s. Together, they started work on developing the cavern. The full-time development crew included Mrs. Wuest-Heidemann, Mr. Heidemann, Jack Burch, Orion Knox, and Reggie Wuest (Mrs. Wuest-Heidemann's son). Development on the cavern began in 1963 and work on lights and trails continued until opening day, July 3, 1964. The cavern has been opened ever since and is still owned and operated by family members.Natural Bridge Caverns became a registered United States National Natural Landmark in 1971.
During excavation of the entrance trail, a human tooth, arrowheads, and spearheads dating from 5,000 BC were found. Also, just inside the entrance, a jawbone and femur from an extinct species of black bear were discovered. This leads many to believe that uppermost areas of the cavern were used as a shelter by early peoples and animals at some point. An archaeological dig was recently done under the natural bridge. Archaeologists recovered arrow heads and other tools which further indicate the presence of early peoples at some point in history.

샌 안토니오에서 자동차로 40여분. 샌 안토니오를 방문한 관광객들이 꼭 찾는다는 동굴이 있다. 입구에 자연이 만들어낸 길이 18m 정도인 돌 다리가 있다. 그래서 이곳의 이름을 내추럴 브릿지 동굴이라고 지었다. 가이드를 따라 지하로 조금만 내려가면 동굴의 모습이 드러난다. 동굴 내부에는 천정에서 떨어지는 석회질이 물속에 녹아 흘러내리면서 만들어내는 종유석 그리고 석순, 둘이 만나서 기둥이 된 석주등이 다양하게 분포 되있다. 이곳 온도는 항상 21도를 유지하고 있어 덥고 습하다. 1억년전 백악기 당시 이곳은 바다였고 죽은 해양생물과 바다 침전물이 각기 다른 석회질 층을 생성했다. 이 석회질 층 사이로 2천만년 전 지하수가 흐르기 시작했고 침식작용을 일으켜 현재의 모습을 만들어냈다고 한다.

I had no Idea what to expect going into the Adventure tour. I will say there are two big pieces of advice I will give to anyone who is thinking about going on this tour.
1. Don’t go if you’re Claustrophobic
2. Wear clothes you will throw away
It was absolutely an amazing trip and I will definitely be doing it again (wife was mad I went without her lol).
