The trip through Lost River Gorge is 3/4 of a mile in length-and takes you back through millions of years of natural history. There are some caves into which you can easily walk, but others require some agility to negotiate. You can, of course, bypass all the caves, and still enjoy the beauty of the Gorge. The route taken today is actually the reverse of what was used originally; this change was made in 1984 when even more of Lost River was opened. The journey begins with a few minutes' walk along the entrance trail; you descend about 300 vertical feet. Your first stop is the Gorge view platform for a look at what is to come.

 

To operate the 360-degree photo bubble: To look around Move pointer to right, left, top or bottom of photo and click and hold the left mouse button. The pointer will be shaped like an arrow, and the picture will turn in the direction the arrow is pointing. The closer the arrow is to the center of the picture, the slower the picture will rotate.

To zoom in: Move pointer to the upper center of the photo and the pointer will look like a diagonal pointer pointing right. This allows you to zoom in by left clicking your mouse (and holding down the button).

To zoom out: Move pointer to the lower center of the photo and the pointer will look like a diagonal pointer pointing to the left. This allows you to zoom out by left-clicking your mouse (and holding down the button).
