Southern New Mexico

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Beauty and wonder; above and below.

It was a challenge getting tickets. Our first day was a bust since the 1,000 ticket limit for the day was already spoken for by 8am! On day 2, we waited two hours in the freezing cold but finally scored tickets and it was 100% worth it!
