The route from West Liberty is scenic, but be cautious of traffic on OH-245 E. This option is best for experienced cyclists who can handle rural roads.

    Walking

    Walking is not a practical option due to the distance from major towns and the lack of pedestrian paths along the highways. If you are staying locally, consider walking only from nearby accommodations to the caverns. Ensure you are prepared for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.
