Trip Description: Step into a world of underground adventure! Explore the winding passages, vast rooms, and unique formations of Tumbling Rock Cave with experienced OA trip leaders. We’ll crawl, scramble, and navigate through this massive cave system while learning about cave conservation, geology, and the delicate ecosystems that live in the dark. After a full day of exploration, we’ll camp nearby and swap stories under the night sky. This trip is a staff favorite for a reason!
