The registration window for this event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
May 1st brings the beginning of State Parks' caving season, and what better way to celebrate this exciting time of the year than with a tour of Head of the Crow's own Buggytop Cave. Featuring one of Tennessee's most impressive cave openings and a year-round flow of water via Crow Creek, Buggytop Cave provides an excellent cave experience for those looking to test the waters of caving, while still offering impressive features.
The hike to and from Buggytop totals 3 miles, in and out, and proves a strenuous hike with significant elevation change. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear and bring plenty of water. Helmets and headlamps will be provided, but feel free to bring a light source.
Finally, we will be practicing White Nose decontamination protocol, so be sure to bring a change of clothes for after the program. For more information on White Nose Syndrome, see this link:
