Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico







This was cool. We went in through the natural entrance where you watch the bats emerge at night during the warmer months. We descended 1 1/2 miles into the caverns to 745 feet underground. The climb down reminded us of those caves in Lord of the Rings. We hiked about 3 miles through the caves, taking a bathroom break at the underground refreshment area - we wondered how they do plumbing way down there. We caught the elevator back up!
