While in Branson we visited the Talking Rocks Cavern nearby. It’s not a big cave but has lots of pretty formations. It was named Talking Rocks because several decades ago when the first tours were started, speakers hidden in the cave would ‘talk’ as guests grew near, making it sound like the rocks were talking. The rocks don’t talk anymore, a guide gives you information.

This cave has lots of draperies and bacon formations. Bacon is what a drapery formation that has stripes of colors is called – it does look like bacon hanging from the ceiling!

This is a mostly vertical cave, and you climb down stairs to see the formations and cavern area, then climb back up the stairs. It’s not a lot of stairs thank goodness!

Here are some pictures we took:
