Carlsbad Caverns NP...OMG!

If you haven't been here, folks, you HAVE to do so at some point. It's simply astonishingly strange and wonderful. Unfortunately, we weren't able to time it to see the bats emerge from the caves at dusk but we spent about 3.5 hours exploring pretty much every inch of the publicly accessible caverns. I highly recommend doing the walk through the natural entrance and taking the time to explore the Big Room and Top of the Cross area. It's so worth the trek and the time!

So many pictures to choose from (even after winnowing out the non-awesome ones)! I think this will be a 3 footprint stop, so fair warning!

Love, love, love Carlsbad Caverns!!Read more
