6. Jewel Cave National Monument

CUSTER.   Discovered in 1900 and named a national monument in 1908, this intricate cave boasts a wealth of delicately colored calcite crystals. These, along with other geological formations, mesmerize visitors who descend into the earth for a glimpse of nature's handiwork. Currently, 129 miles of the cave have been mapped, and speculation suggests that Jewel Cave is one of the world's longest such formations, extending well beyond these measurements. A variety of tours is available. Above ground is a lovely park.   (© 10Best)
