Join us as we hike, crawl, climb, slide, roll, and wiggle our way through Worley’s Cave. This Tennessee cave is  known for its voluminous size with rooms more than 75 feet wide and 250 feet long with high ceilings that often exceeds 100 feet. It is noted for its beautiful formations within its miles of passages. 

The lower level of the cave contains a perennial creek complete with various fishes, white crayfish, and salamanders. We will explore rooms like the Hobbit's Hallway, the Fairy's Ballroom, Tombstone, Giant's Causeway, Thin Floor Room, the Hall of Masks, base camp, and the Bermuda triangle.

You will get wet on this adventure! This trip involves hiking, climbing (bouldering-style), crawling, and wading through knee to thigh deep creek water, so general physical fitness is advised. No previous caving experience required. This is a great trip for anyone curious about caving!

Walters State will provide helmets, headlamps, and guide services through the cave. Students are responsible for all food costs.
