Mammoth Cave National Park
The world's longest known cave system, the labyrinth cuts more than 400 miles below the earth.
Claustrophobes will want to avoid the cave tours here. For everyone else, the eerie beauty of this cave is irresistible. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and the core area of an international biosphere reserve.
