Underground Trams and Ziplines in Louisville

It had been a busy and fun-filled three days in Louisville. The first annual Bourbon and Beyond Festival had been a blast, and we really enjoyed the downtown attractions when we first arrived.

We had another great breakfast in the Executive Lounge of the Louisville Marriott East and packed up to go.

Before we left Kentucky we had one more unique place to go, Mega Caverns, where you can take a tram ride and go ziplining underground.

Mega Cavern claims to be the only place in the world with underground ziplines and I have yet to see any place argue that point.

It’s certainly a unique attraction that shouldn’t be missed.

Brittany and Jamie went ahead to complete the Mega Quest rope course and do the ziplines underground. I started a bit later for the tram ride, which took me through the caves.

It was a unique experience since these caverns are about more than scenery of the caves and undersea fossils. They have been used for practical purposes, such as s
torage and bomb shelters.

The two other things offered here we did not do, although we got a little preview.

The Fat Tire Bicycle trails looked like a lot of fun.

Also, during the holidays, you can drive your car through these caverns and see all the Christmas lights and decorations.

I would like to thank Go To Louisville tourism for helping to arrange this trip.

We are hoping to be back in September 2018 to once again cover Bourbon and Beyond, and to see much more of this wonderful city.

Boyne Mountain Includes Spa and Zipline

It was my final day at the Boyne Mountain Resort with my friends Brittany, Angela, and Kylie. We continued having a great time until the very end.

After packing up our large three bedroom suite, we filled up during our final breakfast at Everett’s. I would miss the comfort and selection of this restaurant in the Main Lodge.

The grounds of the Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls, Michigan are beautiful and very easy to navigate. Could imagine it is also a fun family atmosphere in the summer, but on this Sunday, we saw a lot of people coming to enjoy the winter sports for the day.

We split up from that point. The younger women were going off to zip line through the snow. Angela and I were heading to the spa.

The Spa, Salon & Fitness Center at Boyne Mountain is quite big and has everything you need for relaxation, as well as fitness classes and workout equipment.

Angela and I were there early enough to enjoy the steam room, sauna, and whirlpools, which are complimentary to those using the spa facilities. We also had a chance to chill in the relaxation room with some tea.

The Spiced Rum Pudding Body Treatment (similar to the Caramelt Me Away) at the Boyne Mountain Resort Spa was heavenly.

It included a milk soak, exfoliation, and oil massage using sweet swelling and moisturizing spiced rum pudding products.

We met up with Brittany and Kylie after the spa. They had lots of fun ziplining.  We picked up some fudge for the road at Kilwin’s before we left.

It had been an amazing trip to Boyne Mountain in Michigan. Even though we spent three full days, there was still things – such as ice skating at Fat Tire Snow Biking – that we didn’t get to.

People don’t always look to the Michigan for snow activities, but this resort has been recognized as having some of the best terrain in the Midwest, with seven terrain parks and 415 skiable acres.

It’s a great place for a family getaway and I hope to be back some day.

Ready to hit the slopes? There’s snow at Boyne Mountain at least four months out of the year. Check out all the late winter and early spring deals on their website.

A special thanks to Get Outfitted for the great ski clothes delivered directly to our resort.
