Bluff River Cave

On September 25, 2016, Layne, Tracy, and I took another trip to Bluff River Cave.  I had been to this cave once before, but I’d really forgotten how pretty it is.  The cave has a little mud slide at the entrance, and there’s some stream walking, but…

On March 26, 2016, Layne and I decided to make it to the back of Tumbling Rock.  The back is marked by a formation called Terry’s Terrible Tiger Teeth, so that was our destination. The route is supposed to be confusing, so we didn’t have much faith…

Here are a few pictures from multiple trips we made to Tumbling Rock Cave in 2015.  Honestly, I can’t get enough of this cave.  It’s a nice mix of easy, challenging, easy to access, long, pretty, and unique. [mapsmarker marker=”44″]
