We are here in Park City, Kentucky, specifically to tour Mammoth Cave. Today was our first of two tours of the longest cave system in the world.
We did the history tour today.
Mammoth Cave is unlike any cave I’ve been in previously because it lacks stalactites or stalagmites — at least the section we saw today. Plus, it’s huge.
It’s almost impossible to get a decent picture in a cave using my camera phone, but here are some of the better shots I got of Mammoth Cave today.
Not all of the areas were wide open. In some places, we needed to duck quite low.
And this area, known as Fat Man’s Misery and Tall Man’s Agony involved squeezing ourselves through a particularly tight section.
And there were steps. Lots of steps!
And deep gorges.
Diamond Caverns
We are staying at a campground right across the street from the entrance to Diamond Caverns, so it seemed like a no-brainer to take a tour there, too.
I have to confess that I enjoyed this tour more than the one of Mammoth Cave. There was so much more to look at.
Sadly, the pictures can’t do it justice.
