I-Blanchard Springs Caverns iyinto ethandwayo ehehayo ehlobo ehlongozwe ezincwadini eziningi zokufundisa njengomunye wamapulangwe amahle kakhulu eMelika. Ama-Caverns aseBlanchard aphethwe futhi agcinwe yi-US Forestry Service futhi agcinwe eduze nemibandela yemvelo ngangokunokwenzeka. Izandla, izibani, imigwaqo kanye nezinye izici zengeziwe ukuze kutholakale ama-cavern, kepha kuphela ekudingeni ukubonakala nokuphepha.
Kunakekelwa ngokucophelela ukuze kulondolozwe indawo yemvelo.
Umhume ungumumo wemvelo futhi, njengoba kunjalo, uhlala uguquka. Ibizwa ngokuthi "umhume wokuphila." Azikho izivakashi ezimbili ezizofana. Enye yokunye ngokuvakashela ama-caverns: izinga lokushisa lingama-degree angu-50. Leliphuzo elihle lokushisa kwe-Arkansas.

Ukuvakashela umgodla
Ukuvakasha kufana nesimo sezulu neminye imibandela ngakho uma ucabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ikhanseliwe ngosuku, shayela phambili ukuze uqiniseke. Kunezivakashi ezimbili ezitholakala ezinyangeni zasehlobo.
Izindleko cishe nge-$ 10 ngomuntu ngamunye.
I-Dripstone Trail yilokuvakasha kwenhliziyo. Uhambo oluthambile kakhulu futhi alucindezeli kakhulu uma usuphelile. Kubuye kufinyeleleke nezihlalo zabakhubazekile. Kodwa-ke, ngoba ezinye izitshalo zihamba kakhulu, okungenani kunezidingo ezimbili ezidingekayo ezihambele izihlalo zabakhubazekile.
Ubizwa ngokuthi "ukushayela" ngenxa yokuthi iningi lamapulangwe akhiwa ngamaminerali ekubholeni amanzi futhi le ngxenye yomhume inezinhlobo eziningi kunanoma iyiphi enye ingxenye. Umzila uhamba ngamakamelo amabili agcwele ama-stalactite angamamitha angu-216 ngaphansi. Ikamelo LaseCathhedral liqukethe ikholomu engu-70-foot, imidwebo engama-55 kanye nebhuloho lemvelo. Lo mzila nakanjani unesici esithi "wow" ngakho-ke awuzizwa ungalungile ngokuwuthatha esikhundleni sokweqile. Lolu hambo lunikezelwa unyaka wonke futhi luhlala cishe ihora.
I-Trail Discovery i-1.2 miles ubude futhi uhambo lunikezwa kuphela ehlobo. Kuyinto enzima kakhulu kunomgwaqo weCropstone. Ukunyuka okuncane (okungaba ngu-700 stair steps in total) nokuhamba okuningi kuhilelekile. Akukhuthazwa kulabo abanenkinga yokuhamba, yenhliziyo noma yokuphefumula. Kodwa-ke, kuyindlela emangalisayo.
Kubizwa ngokuthi "ukutholakala" ngoba le ndlela ihamba emnyango wangokwemvelo womhlaba, lapho abahloli bamazwe basekuqaleni (abazitholayo, uma uthanda) bangena. Ungakwazi ukufakazela ubufakazi bokuqala emhumeni. Lona umzila lapho uzobona ukusakazwa, ingxenye engezansi yomhume futhi mhlawumbe ngamamulwane ambalwa. Ngokuvamile uhambo luhlala cishe amahora amabili.
