During our trip to Nashville, we rented a car and drove up to Kentucky to visit both Mammoth and the Diamond Cave.

Mammoth Cave National Park is more than just the home to the longest cave system in the world. It is a place for hiking, biking, horseback riding, canoeing, and camping on over 52,000 acres in south central Kentucky.

Located adjacent to Mammoth Cave National Park, a World Heritage Site, and International Biosphere Reserve, Diamond Caverns abounds in natural beauty.

For over 160 years Historic Diamond Caverns has offered tours of Kentucky’s most beautiful cave. Presented by state-of-the-art lighting, Diamond Caverns features intricate drapery deposits lining the halls in cascades of naturally colorful calcite. Thousands of formations decorate the cathedral-like chambers.
