This little gem, “Going Up” by Eric Spradling, is from one of the Onondaga Photo Tours
This is the beautiful Queen’s Canopy. “Going Up” may be a reference to heading to the top to see the Lily Pad Room. A photo tour through Onondaga Cave lasts almost three hours, where all of the cave lights are turned on, and amateur to professional photographers may take their time and their tripod to explore much of the cave’s natural beauty. If you take any photos you would like to share with OFA, we would be happy to share them on this website! Please get in touch with us at onondagafriends@gmail.com.
