Camp Nelson National Monument Tours

Popular places to visit

Halfway through a 3 km loop at Tom Dorman SNP you can take an offshoot down to the sandy banks and be rewarded with views from the belly of the Kentucky River Palisades. The exposed rock is beautiful and it's old. REALLY old. Half a billion years old. I'm still trying to let that number sink in. #paleozoicgeology The walk was short, hilly, and slippery if you have knee problems begin the loop on the east side of the parking lot your joints will thank you once you make it to the stairs.
