Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico
These expansive caves are worth planning an entire vacation to New Mexico! There are 119 known caves, formed completely from sulfuric acid and limestone, waiting for you to explore in this rocky New Mexico paradise.
You’ll discover this stunning location below the Guadalupe Mountains, an ancient reef containing fossils dating back over 250 million years ago.
Once you walk into the mysterious, damp caverns, the memory of the bright New Mexico skyline will seem like a dream from another planet. While here, be sure to keep an eye out for those majestic stalagmites and stalactites.

Strange, I’ve heard of them all and been to a couple.
I am the youngest of seven children and my parents always talk about being at Carlsbad caverns. Last year I was there and I went down to them because I could not remember when I came out. I called my sister and I said did you go on that trip with the folks And I asked when it was. It was five years before I was born.
I absolutely love the place. I spent six hours down in the caverns. They are absolutely amazing!
I’m going to share this with friends planning vacations!!
