Back in the Carlsbad Caverns

We couldn't help ourselves, we had to go back inside the caves today. We walked down inside the main entrance instead of using the elevator. It was over a mile down, and we went down 850 feet to the Kings Palace. We toured with a Ranger through the Kings and Queens Rooms, the most beautiful part of the cave.

We were inside the cave from 8:30 this morning until almost 2:00 pm. It was awesome.

More pictures inside the cave.


In just a few thousand years these two may hook up.

Can you see the "Bashful Elephant"? He is faacing the wall, but you can see his rump, tail and hind legs. Of the 2 white bumps, the elephant is on the right.

On our travels westward today we stopped at Guadalupe National Park and checked out "El Capitan".

Echo and I had a tradition of going to Carlsbad/Guadalupe Mtns. at Easter time. We hiked to the top of El Capitan peak on one of the trips. Highest point in Texas! Very interesting. Never saw a more rocky trail! Larry.
