Black Friday Hike-Heritage and Green River Bluffs Trails at Mammoth Cave NP

Friday, November 27, 2026, 10:00 a.m. central (11:00 a.m. eastern)

Shopping not your thing? Need to burn off some of those extra calories you consumed on Thursday? Join us for a leisurely Black Friday Hike in Mammoth Cave National Park.

Meet at the kiosk in front of the visitor center. We'll check out the newly renovated Heritage Trail and visit the grave of reknown cave guide and explorer Stephen Bishop before winding our way down Sunset Point to where River Styx exits the cave. Then it's on to the River Bluffs Trail for a scenic overlook of the Green River and back to the visitor center. Approximately 2.5 miles. We can go farther if you like.

Your well-behaved dog on a leash is welcome.

RSVP with integrity. If you RSVP'D "Yes" and discover you cannot go, please change your RSVP to "No" so others aren't standing around the parking waiting on you.
