Onyx Cave
101 Huckleberry Knob Road (Map & Directions)
Cave City, KY 42127
270-773-3530
Located high above the surrounding limestone sinkhole plain, Onyx Cave is a system of vertical shafts uncovered during construction of the Guntown Mountain parking lot on Huckleberry Knob. The pits and domes of Onyx Cave were protected from weathering by the knob's sandstone cap rock and after their formation have slowly became coated by calcite crystal flowstone. The combination of crystals and seeping water makes the walls of this most unusual cave shimmer. The 30 minute tour is conveniently located at Guntown Mountain and is perfect for those travelers who are on a limited time schedule.
Hours: Open March through November.
Outlaw Cave
3057 Mammoth Cave Road (Map & Directions)
Cave City, KY 42127
270-773-2560 / 800-798-0560
Lying on the side of a limestone valley just beneath the sandstone cap rock of the Mammoth Cave Plateau, Outlaw Cave offers a non-strenuous, guided tour filled with beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and other breath taking formations. Area legend has it that famous outlaws such as Jesse James, who roamed this part of the country in 1880, robbing stagecoaches and banks, hid out in Outlaw Cave and as well as other area caves. Jesse and his gang would have found this cave ideal as a "hideout" because the natural opening is large enough to ride a horse in.
Hours: 9am-6pm
