Carlsbad Caverns

This was such a neat place! Pictures don't show really what it was like at all. Its one of those places that you just have to be there to see what it was really like.

‎The cave is 750 feet below surface. Largest Cave camber in North America. The biggest room stretches 14 football fields in length! Was 98 degrees outside, but 56 degrees down there. We walked 2 routes, 1 mile each. One route, an elevator takes you down the 750 feet in 1 minute, the other route you walk down from the natural entrance.








That is an original ladder installed in 1924 and goes down 90 feet like that! I sure wouldn't have wanted to climb down it - even when it was new :)
