He has been wanting to go to Rock City forever now...and for some reason I always thought it would be lame. IT WAS NOT! We had a great time!! I didn't know there were so many types of hydrangea and rhododendron. There are tons of arches to walk under and rock walls to squeeze through. We took the swinging bridge to the falls-- I could've kicked my husband who was jumping up an down. (I have just recently gotten an uncontrollable fear of heights). It was beautiful, but I will be honest, I was a little disappointed to learn that the waterfall was fake.
We also rode the incline. It was relaxing and definitely something that you would not be able to do anywhere else as it is the steepest in the world. I would recommend if you can't get in the very front seat on the right side to skip the next 3-4 rows and sit further in the back. The way down we were in the second row and couldn't see much of anything. But we learned our lesson quick and got wonderful seats on the way back up.
And, of course, there is Ruby Falls.
WV has cooler caverns but they have nothing on this underground waterfall!! They really make it amazing with the transitioning lighting. The guide said that dye tests have been done and no one can figure out where to water comes from. There is so much of it, how could they not find a source?! Mother Earth is amazing.
Our day trip took about 5 hours but I would give a little more time for those who really stop and enjoy every little thing. We went through it casually checking out all the stuff. I wish we could've planned out lunch for the bottom of the incline. Just a few blocks over is a little burrito joint with AH-MAZ-ING food. We had it for dinner but it would've been great to add to the incline experience. What a delicious way to end the day.
