Mammoth Cave National Park in KY Offers Free Springtime Bird and Wildflower Hikes
One of my favorite memories from childhood was our fifth-grade field trip to Mammoth Caves. I distinctly remember being in one of the caverns, listening to the guide tell us about the history of the caves, and thinking about how cold it was. As I grew up, we did lots of horseback riding through the Mammoth Cave area. It was always beautiful. We still love camping and hiking in the area, but I will admit—I don't enjoy hiking alone. As a single woman with a child on the trail in the middle of the woods, I often worry about potential risks.
I prefer to hike with others. When I saw that Mammoth Cave will be offering weekly free hikes, I was really excited.
