Emerald Cave

This Emerald Cave Glows Bright Green for a Few Hours Each Day—and It's Just an Hour From Las Vegas

"When sunlight hits the water just right, the cave glows bright green, creating a striking natural effect. Visitors can kayak or paddleboard from Willow Beach through the Black Canyon to reach the Emerald Cave, and although people come primarily for the cave, the area's fascinating history, diverse wildlife, and dramatic scenery make the journey worth it." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
