Carlsbad Caverns National Park

I've wanted to see the caverns since I was 6 years old.  It was so disappointing that the elevator was out of service.  It goes down 700 feet.  We had to use the natural entrance and only went down about a 1/2 mile.  It was pretty steep, so we wanted to be sure to be able to crawl back out. Still it was pretty cool, the part we did see.  We'll just have to go back someday when the elevator is working.  There really wasn't enough light to take good pics.

Next time I plan to bring a mono pod.  That should help...alot.
