I had just started a new fort, made a few stockpiles, bedrooms, etc etc when I decided to dig down to the caverns to start. I hit a cavern, and then got a message "You have discovered a downward passage". I searched the wiki, and it said it was found a in caves, and had no other information on it. My site is a mountain biome, where caves are found. Did I just find an underground cave or what?

A downward passage connects a cavern layer to the next lower one. It is useful only in adventure mode, when you can't dig down.

Ahh okay. The wiki didn't say that in an obvious place. (In my previous fort I ahad found a deep pit and was scared it was related to megabeasts or dragons or the sort, before finding out it just lead to another cavern)

So you just jump down it? That seems counter-intuitive.

It's a series of ramps, not a straight fall.
