“Just...WOW. :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

I keep going back here...once in the summer and once at Christmas. If you love geology, saves, riding instead of hiking to see great wonders this is it! The history of the place, and the fact that it could be used and built in secret is fascinating to me! Learn something new every summer. Love the Christmas lights in the... More

I found the zip lining very fun and enjoyable! Our tour guides Matt and Curtis were very friendly and you could have a nice conversation with them. They did an excellent job of making me feel safe and secure, being I was a little timid of how high we were suspended in the air. The zip lines were really fun... More

“Historic Tram Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

My wife and I took the historic tram tour and it was awesome. Our guide, Don, was great and really made the tour fun. The trams are pulled with a Jeep that put me in mind of Jurassic Park. The trams are open carts so you get a good view of everything. The cavern was very interesting. Our tour information... More
