It’s a nice hike, lots of trails, some trails were closed due to seasonal maintenance. Scenic Cave, Caverns were closed today, due to bad weather. There is a nice view from the middle of the Suspension bridge. Overall it’s a great experience. They provided a Gripons equipment to fix on to our shoes. It actually provided a nice stead hike on the mild snow ice on hiking trails, but be cautious when stepping on rocks as nails on gripons can has less friction on rocks… Less crowded day… Will come back again…

Visited Scenic Caves last Saturday. It was a really nice experience! The place is beautiful and well maintained. The hike was relaxing with some amazing views, and exploring the caves was a lot of fun. The staff at the ticket counter were super friendly and helpful, which made the start even better. Trails were easy to follow and perfect for a weekend outdoor trip. Overall, a great spot for anyone who enjoys nature, walking, and a bit of adventure. Definitely worth a visit..

This is a great family place to bring the kids or just to go as a couple. So much to do here You can do the gem adventure and dig for gems like the old miners used to do You can take the train and tour around the park There's a trail you can go off to go see the suspension bridge You can start climbing up to go to the top of the mountain which has a zip line that goes all the way back down to the bottom The trail of the caves itself is really cool, especially fat man's misery And the cost is not too expensive compared to the fun and memories you will make here

Probably one of the coolest mini adventures we’ve been on in a long time! Highlights: - ample parking - kind and helpful workers - expansive! I mean these trails are beautiful, and they go on and on and on! - theres a park, gemstone mining (was so fun and we got some really cool rocks + gems) and a picnic area. - theres caves (obviously) and they were amazing to walk through and explore, I loved reading all of the signs and checking out all of the views! - after the caves, we made our way to the rock face, which was a breezy good hike, also, there were benches along the paths which appeared at the most perfect times (like just when you start thinking, i think we should take a break, there is one in the horizon just glowing! Im not kidding, it was like whoever planned the bench situation was very strategic). - tons of little areas to sit down at a picnic table for snack breaks, and all of the paths were really well maintained and clear. - also, once we made it to the rock face (awesome view) we discovered a shortcut path which, lets be honest is all downhill and a hiking dream after you happen to go a bit farther than initially planned and start thinking “man we gotta walk back the same way” - nope, shortcut trails ✨ - a good hike experience based on which trails you take, and solid cellphone reception so Strava can capture all your progress ❤️ - the suspension bridge was amazing, it was so cool being able to see so much below us. - walking back to the main area was like the final boss, the last hill was a feat, but of course, like a god glowing in the darkness, was probably the most beautiful bench ive ever sat on 😅 thank you again, Bench guy! - we originally wanted to check this place out on our honeymoon 2 years ago, and unfortunately we werent able to, so for our anniversary this year we strapped on our boots and set out for the caves, easily one of the coolest spots for hiking thats worth every dollar. Half way through the hike we were already talking about coming back and having a longer visit (we were there for about 2 and a half hours, however we drove from an hour and a half away just for this experience - and we locked in the game plan with the kids at school haha) We both recommend this place with a solid 10/10, aside from the obvious it was a lot of fun discovering the area! Cant wait for our next trip out for more hiking 🥾 🌲

What a gorgeous place!! Some of the trails are steep, but once you get to the top, it's worth it! The view is incredible! Make sure to walk the suspension bridge if you want the best view! Walking through the caves is sooo cool, don't miss out! If you're in the area, set aside a couple hours and check out the Scenic Caves!!
