Extended Historic Tour

Take a walk along the Historic Tour route with a side trip to visit an underground hospital used in the 1840s to treat consumptive patients. Your journey through the natural entrance will take you past saltpeter mining operations and across the Bottomless Pit as you wind through small passages and visit the beautiful Mammoth Dome. The entirety of the Historic Tour is seen on this tour. Limited areas of the Discovery Self-Guided, Mammoth Passage, Star Chamber, River Styx, and Violet City Lantern tours are visited on this route. This tour does not visit dripstone formation areas.
