Caving Trip
Explore the amazing underground world with us on one of our introductory caving trips. The Shenandoah Valley is home to hundreds of caves to explore. During this trip you will be introduced to basic caving techniques while exploring one of our nearby novice level caves. Caves in the Shenandoah Valley maintain a constant temperature of 55 degrees year round.

Even though we will be taking you to one of the “entry level” caves it still requires an ability to crawl on hands and knees and tolerance for tight squeezes through muddy spaces. No required knowledge or skill related to caving is required.
