This group of filigree stalactites, called the "Upside Down City" is one of the main attractions of Boyden Cavern, a mile-long cave in California's Kings Canyon. There are also large drapery stalactites, a flowstone formation called "Mother Nature's Wedding Cake", large drapery stalactites, a stalagmite called the "Christmas Tree" and Bat Grotto, where bats spend summer days sleeping. At the very end of the cave one can admire the root of a tree growing almost 100 feet above the cave.
