Mammoth Cave National Park

Mammoth Cave National Park

September 2012

Egypt and I were ready for another father-daughter trip. From my research, Mammoth Cave is not that accessible. Therefore, I thought it was a good park to visit without Kellisa. Not because I'm avoiding it with Kellisa, but actually the opposite. I wanted to scope the park out a little with Egypt before planning a trip with Kellisa. The trip was an all around success. Egypt enjoyed the trip and I have many ideas on how Kellisa can enjoy Mammoth Cave National Park and the surrounding area.

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of our plane:

We signed up for the easiest cave tour (Frozen Niagara), which required a short bus ride. Waiting for the bus:

Excited to be on the bus:

Egypt struggled with the concept that we were "below" the ground while inside Mammoth Cave:

Back in the rental car to "auto tour" the park:

We found this cool tree while enjoying a scenic drive:

Egypt loved the short ferry ride:
