Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico


There is not a cave or cavern in the entire United States which evokes such astonishment and awe from visitors as does Carlsbad Caverns. This is not the largest cave system in the country, that distinction goes to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, but Carlsbad has more fantastic formations, contains the largest rooms and the largest population of bats.
The first time I visited Carlsbad Caverns was with my Dad when I was about 9-years-old. I returned as a middle-aged adult and was amazed at how much of it I remembered from the first visit. This amazing subterranean world had made a memmorable impression on my young mind that will last a lifetime.
