Review:

Neversink Preserve is a gorgeous 162-foot open-air pit in Jackson County, considered to be the most-photographed natural pit in the American Southwest due to its beautiful fern-covered ledges, waterfalls, and other lovely surrounding natural features. The pit can be accessed by using vertical caving equipment to secure roping and rappelling to the bottom of its cave floor. Hands-on training for rappelling is offered by members of the National Speleological Society throughout the year. For visitors without rappelling skills, the preserve is also a gorgeous natural wonder to visit throughout the year, showcasing stunning rare and endangered ferns and beautiful cascades of water. Visitors should note that the hike up the mountain to reach the pit is long and strenuous and should prepare adequately with water and snacks.
