7 February – Gadsden to Decatur


We headed out in the morning and as we had a lot of rain overnight we thought we’d check out the falls again. Lots more water going over today!

We drove the back ways and by ways to Cathedral Caverns. Cathedral Cavern has reputedly the widest entrance to a commercial cave, at 126 feet wide and 25 feet high. 


The cave tour is 1.5 miles in total, but the cave itself is much longer and mostly not open to the public. There has been documented habitation of the cave for thousands of years, but it was explored and opened as an attraction in the 1950s. Definitely worth a visit, and the tour guide was fun. He was a self-confessed hillbilly with a southern accent that we could barely understand, and a real passion for the caves.
