Visit Tuckaleechee Caverns

Monday, August 3, 2015
We have been to Townsend , TN many times .  It was kinda rainy  the past few days so we decided to go. This place looks very basic once you arrive, when you pull up you may think that this is not going to offer much. But below that building is the entrance to one of the most spectacular rock formations and underground river with waterfall that you will get the chance to see. It's absolutely stunning.

There are steps and handrails throughout the cave, and enough lighting to see.The light show in the big room was fun, highlighting the different structures, and experiencing what a cave is like with all the lights off was another level of darkness. Most people should be able to do the tour, it is not too strenuous and there are a couple of breaks and places to sit. The tour last about an hour and a half or two. 

I thought this was a fantastic experience. We're looking forward to checking out other caves now that I know they are all a bit different. If you are in the area and looking for something fun to do, this a place you should definitely stop and see. 

The entrance building under this is a stunning cave

Visit Ruby Falls Chattanooga Attractions

Sunday, July 21, 2013
We love this place, Ruby Falls is magical. The history of this place is pretty amazing. If you are claustrophobic this is not your thing. The tour takes an hour. The elevator takes you down 260 feet where a tour guide takes you to the tallest underground water fall in country. People going to and returning from the waterfall made use of the same pathway and this often required the incoming group to stand tight against the cave wall to one side while the outgoing group passed by. As the result, it could become somewhat personal, people often brushed against each other. However, the guide did a great job of keeping us in a joyful mood and the tight squeeze was not of concern.  This was a long walk, but nice to see the inside of an actual cavern.

After descending up to 1000 feet, our group was pass through an underground labyrinth filled with colorful stalactites and stalagmites. We witness underground rivers and rock outcroppings that  amazes us. At the end of our adventure through the rock, my breath takes away by the beauty of Ruby Falls. This is a sight that I will never forget. The waterfall is magnificent, this makes visiting well worth the time.
