Pictures from Domes and Dripstones Tour (Mammoth Cave National Park - Kentucky) - Friday June 27, 2025

            These are pictures from the Domes and Dripstones Tour on Friday June 27, 2025 (12:45pm).   I decided to visit the caves when I was in Louisville, Kentucky for the NBDCC 2025 (National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention).  Very glad I did.  Turns out I did this two hour tour in 2014 - but it was fantastic nonetheless.  This is the description of the "Domes and Dripstones Tour" from the Park Website: "This classic tour visits areas of Mammoth Cave that have been used for nearly 100 years. This tour begins in a sinkhole, passes through huge domes, amazing breakdown, and ends in the dripstone section known as Frozen Niagara. Please note that this tour ascends and descends hundreds of stairs and several steep inclines, which can be difficult for many visitors, as there are no alternative routes. Focusing on the natural formation of the cave, this tour is ideal for people interested in science and wanting to see stalactites and stalagmites.  96 of the 734 stair steps is optional."
