Camping trip to Carter Caves

Natalie and I wanted to do another local trip with the camper before we headed anywhere out of state with it. We chose Carter Caves here in Kentucky. We got a pretty nice campsite and we took the bikes for looking around the campgrounds.

Our first tour was called Cascade Cave and was very interesting. I had not been on a cave tour in a long time, so we both enjoyed the formations.

Scenery around the cave entrances was also spectacular.

The second cave we went through was called the X cave because of it's shape. It resembled a crevasse in the cave system and was also quite interesting.

This was the old entrance to the cave. There was originally a hanging bridge from the other side of the canyon. It collapsed years ago and a new entrance was created.

Nature is very persistent, as demonstrated by this tree growing on a boulder. Makes for beautiful scenery, too.
