What can you say about a hole in the ground…. a lot! Carlsbad Caverns is on the same range as Guadalupe but into New Mexico. We arrived with a times entry at 9:30 and it was a busy place. There are two gift shops, a restaurant, movie and extensive museum above ground and some hikes that we did not take. We did walk into the cave, descending 0ver 950 - more than 90 stories, into the cavern and then began the 2 mile walk through the caves massive rooms. The light is low so going is careful but there are railings on both sides of the trail to keep you on the path. There are some fanciful names but most of the cave is low key, no colored lights, organs or animation. The famous bats that swirl out of the cave at sunset don’t occur in the winter - much to Cindy’s delight.
