Ruby FAlls is an Icon by BruceDunning
Ruby FAlls is a site about 1/2 way up the mountain. In the old days, there was and entrance near the bottom of the mountain, but a railroad needed access, so it closed up the entrance to that. There is said to be 12 miles of caves inside, however, only about 1 mile is part of the tour. Tour is around 3/4 hour. You take an elevator down 260 feet, and from there enter the open area of the cave, then the fall of Niagara and Ruby. The Lambert family started this cave 75 years ago for tours. It is now a illuminated show of colored lights, from what was a pristine cave and falls that flow 300 gallons a minute, and fall 145 feet. The at the entrance is a pattern form an Irish castle, and you can climb to the top to see the valley and city. Other attractions are a fun forest for kids, and the parents can pan for gold. It all seems rather "trashy" in my opinion, but welcome to USA. The signage to direct you to this attraction goes for many miles in all directions. Price is $15.95 for the cave, and $30.00 if combined with Rock City tour.
