This hidden gem gets overlooked by many park visitors because it is a bit longer (at just over eight miles, one way) and there just isn't a good way to loop it. That aside, it has some rolling hills and easy flats to cruise along on.
If you are looking for an easy ride, a good option is to start in Cave City and ride up to the Mammoth Cave National Park Visitor Center where you can refill a water bottle, catch your breath from all that uphill, and then turn and ride back to your car.
Great ride with a couple of steep hills that will test your endurance. Take a moment to stop and check out the history markers along the way.
