New Entrance Tour February 25, 2009

This trip begins with a bus ride over the top of the cave to the New Entrance. Discovered in the 1920's, it opened a whole new way to see Mammoth Cave. Descend 280 steps through impressive pits, domes, and a few narrow openings. Arriving 250 feet below ground you will be rewarded with large passages and underground hills. Follow your guide to the Frozen Niagara formation discovered in 1923. From Frozen Niagara to the cave exit you will pass through one of the most decorative and photographed areas of Mammoth Cave
