My Place In Mammoth Cave: The Historic Entrance


My favorite view in Mammoth Cave National Park is from the inside of the historic entrance. The historic, natural entrance to Mammoth Cave is a spectacle to see and experience. As you approach the entrance, the temperature noticeably drops and you can feel the cave "breathe," expelling cold, damp, 50 degree air. Water drips down from its roof and natural lighting quickly gives way to darkness. While Mammoth Cave is a sight to see, but the entrance is special. It is your first sight of the cave system and the portal to that dark, subterranean world.
