" Scenic Caves Nature Adventures" says it all - New excitement in store for the coming months and years

In 1850, when an intrepid visitor journeyed up Blue Mountain and left his initials in the cave known today as Fern Cavern, the trip would have been an adventure indeed. Now, owner Rob Thorburn is working to build on that heritage with even more exciting activities at the popular attraction. Scenic Caves offers more than simply thrilling caves... more than spectacular scenery and awe-inspiring views... more than unspoiled nature.

"Today, we offer a lot more than the Scenic Caves of yesteryear, and we wanted our name to reflect that," says Thorburn. "Now we're Scenic Caves Nature Adventures."
