Our Story

The first time I descended into Bryant Mountain and entered Sims Cave, I was completely amazed by what I discovered. Waterfalls echoed through the chambers, ancient formations rose from the cave floor, fossils exposed themselves in the limestone, and cave creatures revealed a hidden underground world carved by time. It was hard to believe that something this incredible existed just beneath the mountain.

After spending time exploring the cave, I realized this experience was too special to keep to ourselves. We began a clean-up of this abused natural wonder and in 2018, we launched the first Wild Cave Adventure Tour, inviting others to experience the thrill of real underground exploration.

Since then, thousands of guests have joined us beneath the mountain to walk, climb, crawl, and discover the beauty of Sims Cave.

What makes the experience even more exciting is that the cave is still revealing its secrets. We continue to find new passages, formations, and hidden corners, and there are still areas of the cave that have never been fully explored.

But from the very beginning, I knew there was potential for something even bigger here.

For years I’ve imagined new ways to experience the cave—adventures that go deeper, climb higher, and allow visitors to spend more time in this incredible underground world. That vision is now becoming reality through Underground Alabama, an evolving underground adventure destination built around the natural beauty and challenge of Sims Cave.

The same excitement I felt on that first descent has never faded. In fact, it grows stronger every time I get to share this hidden underground treasure with others.

Because the truth is…

we’re just getting started.

And the next chapter of adventure is already taking shape beneath the mountain.
