Mammoth Cave National Park Superintendent: Barclay Trimble

A subterranean park filled with adventures where your boots barely fit through the infamous “mole hole”. This episode explores Mammoth Cave National Park through the lens of its superintendent, Barclay Trimble. Barclay is motivated by experiencing different parts of the country and coming into places that aren’t running as smoothly as they should be. He came from a business background and has had experiences across the country, ranging from Denali National Park up in Alaska all the way to the most eastern point of the continental United States as Superintendent of the Outer Banks Group. Listen to Barclay’s episode to learn how he is managing Mammoth Cave, the world’s longest cave system at 426 miles long, and how he is even making history by discovering new shark species underground.
Mammoth Cave National Park is located in Kentucky and is not only the world’s longest cave system, but is also two parks in one with both the surface and the subterranean. The surface being a great place for kayaking, equestrian use, mountain biking, and hiking and the subterranean being a great place for tours of wide ranging ability and adrenaline levels.
