Carlsbad Caverns

Carlsbad Caverns National Park is one of the most unique and exciting places in the world. Located in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, Carlsbad Caverns is home to more than 100 caves. The most famous of these is the Big Room, a massive underground chamber that is adorned with stalactites clinging to its roof. In addition to the Big Room, Carlsbad Caverns also features the Walnut Canyon Desert Loop, a drive that offers stunning views of the desert landscape. And for those who want to get up close and personal with some of the park's resident reptiles, the Rattlesnake Springs wetland is a must-visit.
