Mamut Mağarası Millî Parkı, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri: yıl boyunca neler var

Kalabalık — Amerika Birleşik Devletleri genelinde Winter / Christmas break, burayı dolduran pazarların 2 tanesinde okul tatili

• Kural

  Cave tours by ticket only

  1 Oca – 31 AraErken rezervasyon

  Every trip underground is a ticketed ranger tour, released six months ahead and sold out weeks in advance in summer. There is no way to see the cave without booking one. Kaynak ↗

• Kural

  Bio-security screening on exit

  1 Oca – 31 AraKapanışlar

  Everyone leaving the cave walks over decontamination matting, and clothing or footwear worn in another cave is not allowed underground. It is the white-nose fungus in the bat colonies the rangers are keeping out. Kaynak ↗

  Spring high water

  1 Şub – 30 Nis · genelde

  The Green River rises through the wet months and the ferry crossing inside the park shuts whenever it does, which puts a long detour on the drive to the north side. The riverside trails go under with it. Kaynak ↗

  Spring wildflowers

  1 Nis – 10 May · geneldeKır çiçekleri ve çiçeklenme

  Trillium, larkspur and Virginia bluebells through the hardwood above the cave in April, before the canopy closes. The surface trails here get a fraction of the traffic the tours do. Kaynak ↗

  Tick and chigger season

  1 Nis – 15 Eki · geneldeBöcekler ve hastalık

  The surface trails run through hardwood and long grass and carry ticks and chiggers from spring to the first frost. None of it touches the cave tours; all of it touches everything above ground. Kaynak ↗

  Green River paddling season

  1 May – 15 Eki · geneldePatika sezonu

  The Green and Nolin rivers through the park are canoeable once the spring high water drops, roughly May to mid-October. The park closes river use whenever the gauge hits 20 feet, which is what puts an end to a paddling day with little warning. Kaynak ↗

  Fall colour

  The Kentucky hardwood above the cave peaks in the first half of October, which the park itself calls the best time to be here. The surface is the reason to come in autumn, not the cave. Kaynak ↗

  Winter tour schedule

  The park runs a reduced winter timetable with fewer tours and fewer routes. The cave holds the same temperature all year, so the only thing winter changes is how many people are in it with you. Kaynak ↗
