More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan onto damp leaf litter and the jungle seems to inhale around you — vines lowering like watchful arms, the Caves Branch River daring you to follow its dark corridor. The first stretch is a short hike, then a fitted harness and helmet, and suddenly you’re sailing between treetops on a series of seven ziplines that thread the canopy 80 feet above the forest floor. Later, in the cool hush of a limestone cavern, you mount an inner tube and let the river carry you through chambers nicked by millennia of water.
