On the Canada side of Niagara Falls you can quite literally walk behind them, after an admission fee, of course. A manmade tunnel was blasted behind the falls and has 2 observation areas. Observation is used loosely here; all you’re going to be seeing is rushing water. Visitors...
Not content spending our mini-vacation just looking at water, we found some other things to see on the way up to Niagara Falls. I saw something online about a cave tour with a boat ride not too far away from our destination. Still on somewhat of a cavern...
Indian Echo Caverns were the first caverns I ever went to. I was only 10 or so and the family took a weekend trip to Hershey Park; the caverns are only a few miles away. Since we were on a cave kick last summer, I decided to revisit...
Probably the only instance I’ve come across where the gift shop is far more entertaining than the attraction itself. Lost River Caverns’ gift shop is, for lack of a better word, awesome. Part of it serves as a mini museum of the most random stuff you can think...
If you’re in eastern PA, you see quite a few signs on the highways for various caverns. Over the summer, I decided to check some of them out; it had been some time since I’d been underground anyway. We went to both Crystal Cave and Lost River Caverns...
I heard about an old railroad tunnel not too far from my house – about 10-15 minutes away. I’m used to having to go 2+ hours to find such things, and now I’m surrounded by them, it seems. The “Cannonball” was a train that ran from Wilkes-Barre to...
This is somewhere I’d heard about for years but simply never got to. We considered adding it to our itinerary during our recent PA trip, but the weather made us change our mind. The Manunka Chunk tunnels are abandoned railroad tunnels that run through a hill in Warren...
Excuse the dark pictures; as I learned at both Howe & Secret Caverns, digital cameras are horrible in low/no light situations. Bluespring Caverns differs from most other cavern tours because the entire tour is by boat. For about an hour, you are on a small metal boat, going...
