A Grand, Gloomy, and Peculiar Place
Mammoth Cave National Park preserves the cave system and a part of the Green River valley and hilly country of south central Kentucky. This is the world's longest known cave system, with more than 400 miles (643 km) explored. Early guide Stephen Bishop called the cave a "grand, gloomy and peculiar place," but its vast chambers and complex labyrinths have earned its name - Mammoth.

We got to spend two days here taking in several of the tours that the park offered. If you are expecting lot's of slag-mites and such this cave may disappoint as it is a dry cave. There is a small wet section that you can tour and that more then made up for the dry portions of the cave. There are a few remaining tour's that we want to take so this will go on our return list.NPS webpage
