Tennessee's magical caves

The caves of Tennessee are a lesser-known treasure just waiting to be explored. With over 11,000 caves, the state has approximately a quarter of the known caves in the entire United States, and although 90% of them are on private land, there are plenty you can check out — and within them, you’ll find lots of life, like bats, salamanders, and cave fish, as well as cultural treasures such as petroglyphs, footprints, and fragments of torches.
