Cedar Sink Trail

05/26/22

This is considered one of the best hikes in the park and there's a reason why! It's located 10 minutes or so away from the Visitor center and takes you down a beautiful forest path to a huge sink hole! There are several good photo opportunities and you can even walk down close to the actual Cedar Spring. There are a large number of stairs so be prepared for that and leave time to take some breaks and take in the beauty of the area.

Tour the Diamond Caverns

One of the main reasons we chose the Diamond Caverns tour vs The Mammoth Caves tours, is we could use flash when taking pictures. Our kids were very excited to tour the caves and take pictures of them. When we found out that the Mammoth Caves does not permit flash photography, we decided to tour the Diamond Caverns instead. We were not disappointed. The caves were amazing and very beautiful.The...
