Imaginary Passage

When planning the Cavern's trail system an initial difficulty was moving from the Rotunda Room to the Throne Room. The path Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen used was steep and difficult, making it inappropriate for developing a barrier-free trail for the tour.

In exploring other options the planners came across a potential alternative. They approached the engineers with the idea about opening another passage way and received the response "only in your imagination."

Despite the initial reaction, the engineers found a way to connect the two rooms with an accessible trail and it was named the Imaginary Passage. The efforts were worth it, as the new passage provided access to a variety of beautiful formations.
