River Cave has the largest numbers of steps of all tours at Jenolan. 1,298 steps equal a height difference of about 120m which is ascended and descented during the tour, fortunatly not at once. A near vertical ladder is also part of the tours, women should think about wearing jeans, although the male participants would probably enjoy a short skirt. As the name suggests, it goes down to the lowest level of the cave system, the active river passage level. There are various pools, huge stalagmites and large canopies.
