Date of trip: 09/06/2025
Time: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (approx.) Central Time
Location: Mammoth Cave NP, Hart County
Difficulty of hike: Easy – The trail is essentially level, with a few gentle slopes. The total hike will last two to three hours.
Join KNPS members Steve Kistler and Carol Friedman for a hike in Mammoth Cave NP. Participants will hike into two distinct prairie restoration areas, both north and south of the parking spot. The two areas have been burned on different schedules, resulting in differences in habitat. There are also some open woods, providing even more variety. Expect to see some grassland plants like Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) and Stiff Leaved Goldenrod (Solidago rigida). Steve and Carol will help ID the plants, insects and birds the group encounters.
Carol Friedman is a nature lover and gardener from Hart County. Steve Kistler, also from Hart County, is a retired teacher and seasonal guide at Mammoth Cave. He’s the creator of the website Hart County Flora.
