But it is misleading, and possibly deters persons from undertaking it who could do so very com- fortably and with comparatively little fatigue. There are frequent stops at points of special interest, an ample recess for a mid-day lunch, and an interval of repose during the boat-ride on Echo River. Professor H. A. 64 MAMMOTH CAVE. Newton, of Yale University, Doctor A. E. Foote, of Philadelphia, together with the senior author of this Manual, made an approximate measurement of the dis- tance from... the mouth of the cave to the end of the route at Croghan's Hall, and agreed in making it four miles and a half, not including the length of Echo River, which we had at the time no means of deter- mining. In other words, the trip in and out would require about nine miles of walking, and the time usually allowed for it, including the boat-ride and the various stops, is eight or nine hours. The fact should also be remembered that the spirits are sustained by the exhilarating cave atmosphere, which is as pure as can be found on any ordinary mountain top, as well as by the great variety and novelty of the perpetually changing subterranean scenery.
