Get around

See

• Caverns of Sonora, Caverns of Sonora Road (off I-10 8 miles west of town), ☎ [phone]. Consistently called by speleologists as one of the most beautiful caves in the country, the cavern has a host of unique, impossible-looking formations. Guided tours leave every half-hour for a somewhat strenuous 1.5 mile path underground. (updated Jul 2016)
