United States10 minute bus ride to the cave entrance - a metal door which was locked behind us. Brilliant tour squeezing and ducking our way single file down a long low narrow staircase into the heart of the cave. Lots of big and small boulders litter the sides of the path where the roof has fallen in, it's very stable now so they say !!! Then a long passageway with smooth sides where the river carved out theRead more
United StatesMammoth Cave system is the longest in the world (405 miles and growing) and is a World Heritage Site. At the visitor centre we picked up trail maps, booked a couple of cave tours for later on in the week and looked round the exhibit. Then had a great hike through the lush forest down to Echo River which flows out of the cave system and back up via the Mammoth Dome Sink Hole. Hitchhiker butterflyRead more
United States10:00 tour, mid 70sF above ground it's a cool 54F in the cave. We walked 2 miles along passageways that rivers used to flow, through huge dome rooms, up and down stairs, through narrow Fat Man's Misery, low Tall Man's Misery and past the Bottomless Pit. Mammoth Dome was impressive with columns which reminded us of Arbroath Abbey ruins, the climb up was 155 stairs, strange to think we were at theRead more

Es war so eiskalt kurz vor dem Eingang der Höhle, dass ich zum Auto gegangen bin um meinen Hoody zu holen.
John hat zu Anna gesagt, dass sie keine Jacke mitnehmen braucht, was sich als falsch heraus stellte.
Die beiden bleiben länger dort und beim nächsten Besuch in der Höhle, nehmen sie sicher ne Jacke mit.
Es war schön Anna und John kennen lernen zu dürfen.
United StatesToday we visited Mammoth Cave National Park. We went on a 2 hour tour of a cave. It was over 300 steps down into the cave. It was awesome. Many big cave rooms and formations. On the way out there were many cave crickets. Unfortunately, no bats because the cave is infected with the fungus that causes white nose bat syndrome. We decided more ice cream was needed. Then, on to our next sleeping spot.

United StatesThe wild cave tour was amazing. It was 6 hours of hiking, climbing, and crawling through tiny holes. I constantly kept asking questions to get history of the cave and the tour guide was happy to answer. We crawled through one spot that was only 9 inches high, where we had to turn our heads sideways to fit through. A fantastic tour and I'm so glad I did it!
United StatesI'm so excited because I've been wanting to go to this park for years. I originally planned on going on a tour that was both educational and adventurous, but when I got there the only tour that was available that I wanted to do was the Wild Cave.

We had our 2nd bone head mistake of the trip. We left our 2 outdoor mats on the picnic table of the Memphis campground when we left for Mammoth Cave 😣
We dropped the camper at the site and went straight to the visitors center just in time to catch a short tour that was starting in 5 minutes. Tour was led by ranger Rick and went through historical entrance.

Did the Domes and Dripstones tour today; yesterday evening, we did the Mammoth Passage tour that took us in the historic entrance.
Some heavy downpour rains in the evening; tent go a little wet inside, but teardrop was mostly dry except for vent we left open.
