Trip Description: Step beneath the surface and explore one of the Southeast's most incredible cave systems at Tumbling Rock Cave Preserve. We'll spend the day navigating underground passages, scrambling over rocks, squeezing through narrow sections and discovering massive cave rooms filled with unique formations. Above ground, we'll enjoy a scenic hike through the surrounding mountains before relaxing around camp with new friends. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure that's equal parts challenge and exploration, this trip is for you.
