Blanchard Springs Caverns - Ozark-St. Francis National Forests |
 | | Throughout the Dripstone Trail, one walks amidst features of indescribable beauty, which are older than the pyramids. |
 | | A vast amount of dripstone is found in this portion of the Caverns for two reasons. |
 | | First, this section is higher than the other, allowing air-chemistry changes which cause the dripstone to form, and second, this portion is older than lower areas, giving the features more time to develop. |
