NPS Centennial: Amazing Beauty Close to Home at Mammoth Cave

Finally, in early September of 2012, I had the chance to go to Mammoth Cave National Park.  It far exceeded my expectations! There’s incredible beauty the inside the cave as well as many miles of trails to hike around the outside.

Visiting Mammoth Cave is one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. One the of the coolest things to do outside of the cave is hiking down to the Echo River Springs Trail. You can hike to where the river emerges out of Mammoth Cave. It looks absolutely magical.  Hopefully, I’ll get to visit this amazing park again soon. There’s so much to do there. It’d be fun and challenging to do the "Wild Cave Tour" when I return.
