Mammoth Caves in the state of Kentucky is the world's longest mapped cave system and is blessed with fantastic limestone formations.
You have a choice of tours, ranging from easy to expert.
Very easy
Reasonably easy
DifficultNo one knows Mammoth Caves' true length. About 575 kilometers (360 miles) have been explored and mapped. Some professionals believe that there is an equal distance yet to be discovered.
In 1972 it increased significantly in length when it was discovered that it connected with another long cave system.
Different sections have different configurations, formations and coloring.
Early Native-American artifacts dating back 4,000 years were found in the caves.
Bring a light sweater even if its sweltering outside. Caves are chilly the year around.
The best time to visit is spring (after the snow melts) and fall. In summer, temperatures soar. So do crowds, to the point where tours can quickly sell out.
Mammoth Caves is part of Mammoth Cave National Park, which includes the scenic forested river valleys aboveground.
