Off to Guadalupe Mountain National Park where we braced ourselves for 50 and 70 mph wind gusts. What a fitful night after a wonderful hike up the Devil’s Hall Trail. We even closed up the slides in order to give us stabilization. We got out of there fast and headed for Carlsbad, NM, and saw the Carlsbad Caverns. Here we did the King’s Palace Guided Tour and then the Self-Guided Natural Entrance tour into the cave. After descending over 800 feet, we saw many stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, draperies, columns, popcorn, and mirrored ponds. The Big Room was the size of 14 football fields.
Sandy and Bill,
ReplyDeleteYour post of Guadelupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns brought back memories our time in NM. Al took me to see Carlsbad Caverns with his parents at Thanksgiving time in 1965. And we visited Guadelupe Mountains on our way to Tempe, Arizona the first year we were married.
Enjoy your travels in the Land of Enchantment.
