Biltmore House Road Trip - Shenandoah Caverns
How I spend my summer vacation: Biltmore House Road Trip
For the longest time my wife has wanted to see the Biltmore House, a mansion built near
Asheville, North Carolina by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and still
stands as the largest privately-owned home in the United States. Even though the last couple of
summers things came up that prevented me from keeping my promise to take her there this
summer we were able to go on what I like to call our Biltmore House Roadtrip
According to Mapquest the trip from Allentown, PA to Asheville, NC should take around 10
hours, if driven non-stop. That was a bit much to do non-stop so we decided to stop at a couple
of places on the way down and on the way back.
I used to do a lot of caving in my younger days so I enjoy visiting different commercial caves
whenever I can and this Road trip gave me several opportunities since we drove through
Virginia to get to Asheville, North Carolina.
The itinerary of the visits we decided on was in the order as follows:
Day 1
Shenandoah Caverns - in Shenandoah Caverns, Virginia
Day 2
Dixie Caverns - Salem, Virginia
Biltmore House - Asheville, North Carolina
Day 3
Biltmore House - Asheville, North Carolina
Day 4
Great Smokey Mountains Railroad - Bryson City, North Carolina
Smokey Mountain Trains - Bryson City, North Carolina
Day 5
Chimney Road - Chimney Rock, North Carolina
P. Buckley Moss Museum - Waynesboro, Virginia
Day 6
Grand Caverns - Grottoes, Virginia
Day 1 - Shenandoah Caverns
Our first stop on the Biltmore House Road trip was at the Shenandoah Caverns in Shenandoah
Caverns, Virginia.
The cavern is known for it's famous Breakfast Bacon limestone formations that I first saw in
the 1964 National Geographic magazine. It's also the only cavern I've been in that has an
elevator to get down in the cavern.
Included at this stop was a visit to the American Celebration on Parade display just down the hill
from Shenandoah Caverns. According to the American Celebration on Parade display ad, you
will see spectacular parade floats from famous national celebrations such as the Rose Parade,
Presidential Inaugurals, the Miss America Parade, the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and many
more! It's an amazing exhibition that fills 40,000 square feet of floor space with huge floats and
delightful animated figures.
So this was a pretty good start to our road trip because there was something for me, the
Shenandoah Caverns, and something for my wife, the American Celebration on Parade display.

The Discovery of Grand Caverns - Trailer
See for more info (Videos/Cave)
Grand Caverns in Grottoes, Virginia was discovered by Bernard Weyer in 1804. Because of its beauty and many unusual shield formations, Grand was one of the first caves to be commercialized in the United States. As of 2003, there were 3800 feet of surveyed passage, most of it on the commercial trail.
In the spring of 2004 a new section of Grand Caverns, all virgin, was discovered by VAR cavers while mopping up the resurvey of the commercial cave. By the end of 2005, an additional 2.8 miles of virgin passage was added to the length of the cave bringing Grand Caverns to a total of 3.82 miles long.
This program is about the discoveries that were made in the past 2 years, the challenges that confronted the cavers as they probed and mapped the new areas of the cave, and the fantastic formations that were found around every corner. Because of the fragile nature of the new discovery, and the difficulty in reaching it, many cavers, and especially the public, will never see these beautifully decorated rooms and passages in person. This program will attempt to show what lies beyond the tight crawl and small squeezes, and let viewers appreciate the wonders and beauty of the 'other' Grand Caverns.
