Reservations
Our skilled cave trip guides will lead you into a surreal
underground world of magnificent natural
formations. High Mountain supplies all the gear
you'll need.
Spelunking
Cave trips are fun for both adults and children
of all ages. It is amazing when grown men and
women start getting muddy, they also start to
smile and become kids all over again. In every
cave that you will explore, there will be vast
chambers and windy crawlways to maneuver thru.
Roberts Cave
Roberts cave is about two hour away from the
High Country area; it is a beautiful drive
through the mountains to Smyth County. These
trips will meet at 10 a.m. in Banner Elk, at Ski
Country Sports. You will arrive back in the High
Country around 5 p.m.
Three entrances into the cave all access into a
passage, 8 to 10 feet high and 10 feet wide,
trending east. Roberts contains a series of
short drops and climbs and approximately 1,500
feet of passages. Roberts cave ends in a
breakdown some 600 feet ESE of the entrances and
is in Shady dolomite. After you have explored
the cave to your hearts content and come back to
the surface, there is a small creek nearby that
you can clean off in, before your trip home.
Worley’s Cave
Worley’s cave is a little closer with the drive
being only around 45 minutes. This cave trip will
meet at 10 a.m. and get back at around 4 p.m.
Worley’s cave is formed in limestone. The age of
limestone caves in Tennessee is from 250 to 350
million years old. This cave has a few rooms
large enough to camp in and a stream that flows
thru. The trip in the cave will last from 2
hours to 4 hours. You will see rooms like the
Fairies Ballroom, Tombstone, Giants Causeway,
Thin Floor Room and much more. There are times
you will crawl, climb and must or all get muddy.
Children and adults will thrill in the
exploration of vast chambers and crawlways
hidden in caves millions of years old. No
experience is necessary and with an expert guide
you will learn the basic skills needed to travel
through the fantasy of underground. |
