Day Trips from Nashville
Southeast from Nashville:

Casting
for a tempting daytrip from Nashville? Chattanooga has a wonderful aquarium. On the way you may want to take in the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg. It's
75 miles southeast (see directions), with tours offered every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve day, Christmas, New Year's Eve day and New Year's Day.
Northeast from Nashville:

Mammoth Cave National Park, according to the Park literature, "preserves the cave system and a part of the Green River valley and hilly country of south central Kentucky. This is the world's longest cave system, with more than 365 miles explored. Early guide Stephen Bishop called the cave a 'grand, gloomy and peculiar place,' but its vast chambers and complex labyrinths have earned its name: Mammoth." The National Park is approximately 90 miles (145 km) north of Nashville. There are a number of guided tours you can take of the cave, including the daunting Wild Cave Tour. Here is a description of the physical challenges of the Wild Cave: "Free-climbing cave walls; lengthy crawls through areas as tight as 9 inches high; walking in a crouched position; hand and knee crawls over jagged rocks and dirt; crawling through wet areas; twisting into and out of tight crawlway openings." Sounds like fun, doesn't it? If you want a tour that is a bit less strenuous, try the Frozen Niagra Tour (suited for slow walkers and those with small children).
