Visiting caves sounds scary, stinky and unpleasant… but I would have to say the idea of going deep under the ground is much different from the actual experience. We have visited a number of caves and I have enjoyed each and every one of them! The air is crisply cool and fresh without the expected musty smells. Even in the tighter spaces, I did not get a feeling of claustrophobia that I imagined. Although the interior space is “alive” and could experience collapse, it seems very solidly stuck in its current form. At Mammoth Cave we did a few guided tours with larger groups. In this cave you must be accompanied by a guide, maybe because it is so huge… It is really a Mammoth!
