This new and completely updated edition by co-authors Doris Green and Greg Brick, PhD, invites readers to consider a different angle for their next Minnesota trip. It guides travelers to the state's publicly accessible caves, former mines, and other subterranean treasures. Whether you are a sport caver, hiker, photographer, teacher, historian, or vacationer, this guide offers unique travel destinations, suggests possible study projects, and points to both widely recognized and little-known underground locations. Along the way you'll learn to see Minnesota in a different light--a light cast as often by a headlamp as by a northern sky.
YOU'LL FIND:
- 82 sites in 23 counties
- 41 new site listings
- 13 museums and educational centers featuring cave and mine replicas as well as geologic exhibits
- 23 sidebars highlighting Minnesota's underground history and geology--not to mention odd but true subterranean tales
- Directions, precautions, and amenities for all sites listed
This guide offers ideas for travelers who want an unordinary travel experience. While some sites require sure-footedness and an ability to climb steep hillsides, others are accessible even for families with young children. If you're ready for a serious trek or an easier tour beneath the surface, Minnesota Underground can the lead the way.
