In Carslbad we left the 100 degree weather of the Chihuahuan Desert and hiked one mile to spend 5 hours in the lovely 56 degree caves 700ft underground.
We wandered the labyrinth of caves spending most of our time in the Big Room, which has an area equivalent to 6 football fields! Even more impressive were the decorations. Polar bears and lions tails...
Stalactites & stalagmites were just the beginning! The features are incredible to see and a challenge for photographers. Our pictures barely do it justice & we highly recommend you check it out for yourself!
We also got to experience a total blackout. Where's Ailey? (part III)
