I’ve been spelunking a few times in Colorado! The longest was about 8 hours underground. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you can handle claustrophobia, it’s an amazing experience.
I will add that if you, dear reader, are interested but are unaware of your claustrophobia status, that’s okay. Just make sure to be open an honest about that when hooking up with other cavers and/or a local caving club. You’ll find that many are compassionate about this kind of thing; it’s not unheard of to do a newbie friendly cave with folks, just to see if you can handle it or not. Just don’t keep that all to yourself only to have a freakout during an (otherwise) normal trip.
