Summary:
I have explored a few caves in this country and other countries. This was by far the best experience! From the start, there was no time wasted to get me geared up and filled with useful information to calm any fears. No need to bring your cell phone as my extremely knowledgeable guide took and shared pictures of many of the challenging climbs and crawls leading to amazing places inside the cave. Just when you think you have reached the end, there’s a very small crevice that leads you to yet another amazing place. These places contain waterfalls, fossils, fish and historical graffiti. One graffiti tag was from 1872! My favorite place inside the cave was about a 5 min crawl to a huge room that housed this 80 foot waterfall. I walked away completely muddy and wet but with historical and geological knowledge of the area. There’s showers at the end. Mr Sims ( the guide) and his wife also offered to bring me back to my hotel room sparing a 30 dollar Lyft to Birmingham.
I recommend bringing rain or hiking pants as the temp in the cave was 60 something.
If you like adventure, this is a must!

Summary:
I had a fantastic if time. I was in awe from the minute I stepped into the cave until the I literally crawled out over 4 hours later.
Wes was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable about the geological features of the cave, it’s history, and the plant and animal life that exist there. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious!
Be prepared to get wet and dirty as you squeeze, twist, climb and crawl your way thru a once in a lifetime cave tour!
