Cave City, KY...Mammoth Cave Pictures

These pictures are the Frozen Niagara Tour.

Very short easy easy walk.

.

Guide said he reason for so much mineral deposits is that the cap (ground level) is limestone. Makes for a porous rock that leaks water thru.



These are the only steps. You actually go behind this formation. Just like going behind the falls at Niagara Falls in New York. So this tour is Frozen Niagara.


I wonder if the limestone 'cap' is one day going to be a sinkhole.




That's Craig looking for the treasures.


We hope to return and take one of the 4 to 6 hour tours. Lots of other things in the area. I wanted to do the Alpine Slide but we visited and chilled at the campground instead. Wonderful weather. A great 3 day weekend.
A place called Ky Down under is also another return trip.
