Moaning Caverns – Murphys, California

To kick the adrenaline into high gear in Murphys, California, we went rappelling (yes, apparently we like to HANG out when traveling…) through an old mine shaft at Moaning Caverns into a stunning cave, 160 feet to the bottom, including a couple extremely narrow passages (called “birth canals” because your body needs to be completely vertical to squeeze through), and from there entered the caverns for a little introduction to spelunking. Claustrophobics need not apply. The location also has zip lines and other adventures to satisfy your adrenaline cravings.
