Story

We really enjoyed our trip to Hobbit Caves. The approach was nice and short, and all the little caves were close enough together that we didn't need to worry about keeping everyone together. We just let all the kids (and adults) explore at their own speed. After exploring the caves, we explored the cliffs higher up for more caves but didn't find any.
