INCREDIBLE!!!

The Carlsbad Caverns were incredible!!  Words do not do it any justice…it was like being on another planet!  Have a look~

This is the entrance to the caverns- see the long windy side walk down…. (There was also an elevator but this was more fun- part of the whole experience!)

We took over 300 pictures so I am only going to show you a few of my favourites. The self lead tour took just over 3 hours and cost only $6 each…cheap!!

The temperature down here is a constant 56F degrees regardless of the weather outside.

I loved this section of the cavern…called the Whale’s Teeth!image

And I’m sure If I took this rope ladder down this tunnel…it would lead to a cute little..

  6. If you venture down that hole you could end up in Australia! What a very different view of the world down there. Looks like you have been living in a postcard over the last couple of days.

  8. Paulette,
    I used to write to a girl who was from Carlsbad and she sent me a postcard or two from the Caverns- I haven't thought about it for a long time. I really enjoyed your cave tour.

    Regards,
    Anna

  9. As someone who is afraid of heights and suffers from claustrophobia, I don't think I'll be going there anytime soon. Even the photos made me shiver,but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
