Caving has always been a popular pastime in West Virginia. In the Grandview National Park near Beckley, West Virginia, there are some small caves that you can explore. The caves are short and not completely closed off. They are in the park mainly to introduce people to spelunking to see if they might like to explore more caves. The Native American Indians were the first people to discover caves in the state. Since that time, more  than 500 caves have been found and explored by lots of people.
