There’s An Adventure Park Hiding In The Middle Of A Northern California Forest And You Need To Visit
We might feel like winter in Northern California might never end, but that just means we have plenty of time to get excited about the adventures we will have this spring and summer! What better way to beat the head we know is coming our way than to go underground and out of the sun? Or to fly through the air and let the breeze keep you cool right here in Northern California?
There is a truly one of a kind place here in Northern California that will bring out the adventurer in you. Read on to learn why the Moaning Caverns Adventure Park in Calaveras County is the best place for recreation far and wide!
The Moaning Caverns Adventure Park is located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills near Murphey.
One of the most popular activities it offers is, of course, the zip line and high ropes course.
If zip lines and challenge courses aren't your thing, there's tons of family friendly activities that allow you to leave your feet firmly planted on the ground.
This ancient flowstone formation is a feature of the main chamber at Moaning Cavern.
There are walking tours that are rated as mild and feature anywhere from 60 to 235 stairs for you to climb. Live performances and music are a fun draw on these tours, which don't require a helmet or any lessons.
The Expedition Adventure Tours, on the other hand, are for only the bravest explorers. If you are bold enough to give it a try, you will be in for the experience of a lifetime.
Spelunkers explore the chasms by rope as well as by climbing through tight spaces. It takes a certain type of person to enjoy this particular kind of activity!
Here's a statue of an old cave explorer from the Gold Rush era ready and waiting to take a photo with you. The combination of adventure and history make this place really something else and completely unique to Northern California.
