The Polar Caves were formed about 50,000 years ago as the third continental glacier descended over New Hampshire’s White Mountains. When the ice retreated, it left behind an amazing series of caves and passageways to explore! A self-guided tour through Polar Caves will take you to the rock garden, on the nature trails and through the nine caves in the park.

America’s Most Sensational Granite Caves
Formed by a glacier, The Polar Caves consist of nine amazing granite boulder caves now connected by boardwalks for easy exploration.
