One of God's Great Wonders!

We just returned from Gatlinburg, and when asked what was our favorite part of our trip, we all agreed that it was the cave in Townsend! Even my 5 year old enjoyed it the most out of the entire trip, and we'd even been to the Ripley's Aquarium as well. I've been in a few caves myself, but this one was by far the most magnificent in beauty and uniqueness. The history of the cave and the stories that the guides shared really made the experience even better. The waterfall and the open view at the end, once the lights were turned on in that specific area, were my 2 favorites. I wanted to stay in the cave and joked about cool it would be to camp out there. The "wishing well" was inspirational too, especially knowing that money tossed into it is donated to the Knoxville Children's Hospital. What a truly, loving gesture that is and speaks highly of the owners. I would recommend making this trip to Townsend when visiting the Smokey Mountains. It made our trip even more of an enjoyable one!
