Great Basin National Park
Besides stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, Lehman Cave has flowstone (drapery-like accumulations that form on the cavern walls) and unusual helictites (small, irregular, often curved, twig-like speleothems that seem to defy gravity) (see Burnell, 1998 to learn more about cavern formations).
