Carlsbad Caverns
There are two ways into the caverns, the natural entrance and the elevator. We took the natural entrance in. It was a big black hole in the earth.
It was quite a hike down into the cave.
750ft down. 1 mile down the natural entrance.
This picture is looking up back to the entrance after we had done down a ways.
The formations in side the cave were awesome.
there were crystal clear pools of water all around the cave.
This one is called the lion's tail.
This one's called the...well, you can use your imagination.
This is an entrance down to another cave under the big room cave.
The caverns are pretty inactive nowadays, but this is the most active part of the cavern. This stalagmite is still actively being formed. It looked all wet and shiny.
Overall it was a really great trip and the caverns were really beautiful and awesome. I'm so glad we went. It was worth the wait.
I have been to Carlsbad Caverns. They are amazing! My family went when we visited my brother at Artesia, NM. He was graduating from the Border Patrol Acadamy.. That was almost one year ago.
I'm a high school science teacher currently living my dream of teaching out in bush Alaska. I'm always up for new adventures and like to travel anywhere and everywhere. This blog is a way to keep in touch with friends and family, journal about life, and share my experiences with the world.
