We went to 260 Scenic Caves Rd, Blue Mountains, ON on November 1, 2020 from Brampton, Ontario. It was very cold early in the morning, so we started from home around 1 pm and at this time it was sun started to show its brightness and due to sunny weather, now there was not that much cold like in the morning.

From our home, it took little over than 2 hours to reach there and we enjoyed a lot in the way. We went by our own Car. When we reached there, we bought the ticket and it was $90 for three people.

This spot has been open to visitors since 1932 and the centre offers the Self-Guided Caves trail, Treetop Canopy Walking plus two zip-lines, Scenic Suspension Bridge, Thunderbird Twin-Zip Ride, Nature Trails, Eco-Adventure Tours, Mini Golf, Gemstone Mining, a kids train ride called Rocky the Train which departs from Big Rock Railroad, Fish pond and plenty of scenic spots to sit and enjoy nature. The centre also has a snack bar and gift shop.

Gift Shop was open and bought one cap for $22 for my son with the logo of Scenic Caves on it, which is really beautiful and my son really like it. But the snack bar was close.

There were not so much crowd, but still there we could see approximately around 100 people and most of them were young with their kids. Kids were not toddlers, but the age of around 6-12, who can walk, because to see caves, there was steep hill.

First of all, we went to see Suspension Bridge and we had some family pictures over there and also I made Video. To watch video, Check my Instagram Account.

This bridge is so beautiful and while walking over it, you can see beautiful views from that height. Due to windy conditions, the bridge was little shaking. We really enjoyed walking on it. Then we went to see the Cave from the jungle, but there was another way to go to the destination.

To see cave, you have to walk up steep cliff for about 15 minutes. To see the cave you’ve to go from very narrow way, which was very hard to go and you have to walk very carefully and your shoes should be good, means no slippers and no ordinary shoes. You need shoes, which have good grip to walk from that narrow path. But we make a video, so please check it on facebook, you’ll amaze to see how beautiful this natural cave is.

After seeing the cave, we ate our food, which we took from our home. We enjoyed eating Spaghetti with tons of vegetables, fruits-apples, oranges and bananas. We also took our drinking water and also water in one container to wash our hands.

Then coming back to our home, we saw lake, but here I did not came out to see the lake, only my husband and son have seen by spending 15 minutes, because we were late and at the same time, I was tired and feeling cold.

We reached at home around 8 pm and were so tired. Nobody’s was hungry, because the food we took from home, we ate around 5 pm and on the way to come back to our home, we took tim hortons Masala Chai and donuts. So we were not hungry at all. Then we enjoyed watching Tv and enjoyed our weekend a lot.

Next day, I slept two hours extra due to the trip and then started to feel fresh with the extra rest and fresh from the mind for this good change, because we all need some change from our daily chores. Am I right? Yes, I’m, because we feel bore by doing the same work each day, but when we do something different, especially, we go with our family or friends to see Natural scenes, then our mind become so fresh, which give us more energy to do more hard work for our daily routine.

I hope this article will give you little motivation to go to see natural scenes, near or far, makes not a big difference. Even I like nearby.

Beautiful Suspension Bridge

At 420 feet long, this suspension footbridge is southern Ontario’s longest and provides the best views of Georgian Bay and beyond. The suspension bridge is accessible via walking trails, which gives you great walking experience.

Being suspended 82 feet above the forest floor provides the illusion of floating among the old growth forest.
