Cascade Caverns is NOT worth the money. I suppose we should of guessed this when this is the sight we first looked at while waiting for the tour.

The kids found some things to entertain them while we were waiting for our tour guide.

Once we went into the cave it was beautiful but the tour guide we had was not well educated about the geological aspects of a cave. He pointed out things like this rock looks like a turtle, this one looks like Snoopy….

Here is a shot of one of the first areas of the cave.

You are not allowed to touch the walls or the water because it is a living cave. Here is one spot that you can touch since you walk on this section.

Here is a section of formations that they call soda straws. I actually managed to catch a picture with water dripping.

Here is a picture of a different section of the roof of the cave.

The last part of the tour the guide was talking about how they had found bones from a mastodon in the cave. I am hoping he misspoke but as he was showing us the remains of the tusk he stated that the bones had been there for 2500 years. I think he is either way off on his math or they aren’t bones from a mastodon. Here is a picture of the tusk remains.

Hopefully tomorrow’s tour at Natural Bridge Caverns will be better.
