Sunday , 11 February 2018 – Carlsbad Caverns National Park

A glimpse of the Carlsbad Caverns. Nothing really for scale unfortunately. The features are huge.

Today we headed for Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The caverns are really great. We took the most popular hike that is a 800 ft elevator ride down to the caverns and a 1.5 miles, 2 hours loop hike in the caverns. We had a really great time. If you are up to a longer hike you can start at the natural entrance and hike down instead of taking the elevator. You can also sign up for Ranger guided tours to less traveled portions of the caverns. We were content with the self-guided 1.5 miles hike. It was awesome. After we returned to town we had a Chili’s. It’s really nice having access to services, restaurants, etc. There was very little to choose from at Big Bend, Terlingua, and Lajitas.
