Luray Caverns, that was originally called Luray Cave, is a large, celebrated commercial cave just west of Luray, Virginia, USA, which has drawn many visitors since its discovery in 1878. The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc.). The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithophone made from solenoid fired strikers[citation needed] that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells. The path that goes through Luray Caverns starts at the entrance. Next it curves throughout the caverns until you reach Dream Lake. Then it goes in circles downwards until it reaches Saracen's Tent. It goes right to The Great Stalacpipe Organ where it goes next to some big stalactites and stalagmites. Last, it goes to the Wishing Well and goes to a sign where they honor veterans who come from Page County and it climbs out through a small passage where you see the "Fried Eggs" rock formation. At last, it goes out through a smaller passage to the entrance. The entire trek is 1.5 mi (2.4 km) long and takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour to finish the journey.
