About the Attraction
Mark Twain cave is different from most caves because it was created by geological pressure from below, resulting in large cracks in the rock. Unlike water formed caves, Mark Twain Cave is a criss-cross of interweaving pathways, a sort of natural labyrinth. It is not much of a difference on paper, but it is a unique experience to be inside the cave.The Best People
One of the best parts of this trip was the inane chatter and cheerful demeanor of our tour guide. I also really appreciated the care we got from the front desk staff at the Quality Inn in Hannibal.The Biggest Surprise
The biggest surprise was seeing ‘Number two – under the cross’, the treasure hiding place from ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’.I’m not so sure about the ‘number two’ looking anything like a number two, but the cross really is a distinct marker – hard to miss if you’re looking for it.
