There are an abundance of caves in Alaska but the ones found on Prince of Wales Island and the surrounding areas hold not only scientific value but bones and human remains as well! Careful not to fall into one of these death traps. They are cool to explore but deadly natural hazards. Spelunk at your own risk!
Kit 'n' Kaboodle Cave is located on Dall Island in Gold Harbor and, if you stand near the entrance, you can hear running water deep within the rock walls.
El Capitan Cave is located in the Tongass National Forest and is one of the largest known caves in the state of Alaska. There is a fall risk so a fence surrounds the entrance to the cave.
