Carlsbad Caverns National Park

After spending the night in Carlsbad, New Mexico, I drove the half hour down to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It has been 20 years or so since I last visited the caverns.

I arrived early on a weekday morning in late November. Before going down into the cavern, the ranger said, “There aren’t many people here yet. It’s going to seem like you have the place to yourself.” And he was right. It was great to experience the cave in solitude.
