  • Great trail well marked quiet . Very few people on the trail when we hiked which was late afternoon. Do visit the Guides' Graveyard on one of the trails just behind the lodge

  • This was better than the caverns, although go in the Fall, Winter or Spring...the humidity here in Kentucky makes miserable until you hit the falls.

  • When visiting Mammoth Cave, make sure to explore above ground, too, in order to understand the geology even more. You can easily find one trailhead by parking at the Green River Ferry parking lot...
