Down we go! Off on the “Great Onyx Lantern Tour” at Mammoth Cave National Park.
Mammoth Cave National Park preserves the longest known cave system on earth (400+ miles) and 53,000 acres of beautiful forest. With nearly a dozen miles of cave trail below ground, there are also nearly 70 miles of surface trail, 13 backcountry campsites, three campgrounds, and over 20 miles of navigable river for visitors to explore and enjoy. It really is two worlds in one.
The Great Onyx Cave is beautiful in its own right. It houses an abundance of beautiful geologic formations that sparkle in the lantern light of this tour. Visitors on this tour can see many stalactites, stalagmites, gypsum crystals, and helictites. This cave was also the site of very important cultural history in the early days of Kentucky cave tourism. This tour is ideal for people with interest in cave tourism history and unusual rock formations.
