We decided to take a tour of Indian Echo Caverns today. We had planned to take a day trip to the beach with our oldest and youngest daughters but the weather wasn't cooperating so we needed to find an indoor activity. We pass by this cavern often during the week and it has been on our bucket list since we moved (4 years ago!) It was an interesting tour and the guide was friendly and fun (even with her goofy scripted jokes). On the down side, you were quickly pushed through the rooms of the cavern in order for the other groups to go through the area. I do wish we would have had a little more time to slow down and look at all of the amazing formations. I would suggest if at all possible to go another day rather than a Saturday, I am sure it is not as busy during the week. Also, go to the Visit Hershey Harrisburg website to request a travel guide. The guide has a coupon for Indian Echo and many other local activities/restaurants.
Read here about the history of the cave and how it was founded. Also, read here for additional information about William Wilson the Pennsylvania Hermit.
Here are a few pictures of the Cave
Indian Eco Caverns is a limestone cave. The temperature inside the cavern is 52 degrees year round. Take a jacket/sweatshirt along in the summer or take off your coat to warm up in the winter!
If you are interested in getting a few shots while you are there, hang in the back of the crowd.
Watch your head while walking through the caverns... well, I didn't have any trouble at all for a short girl : )
Some of the formations start to resemble familiar objects such as this one that is known as an "Ear of Indian Corn"
Always look up!
Love, Love, Love these ladies!
Just a little silliness...
well...
actually a lot of silliness!
