Review:

Carlsbad Caverns National Park showcases over a hundred gorgeous caves throughout New Mexico's Chihuahuan Desert and Guadalupe Mountain regions, stretching for more than 46,000 acres near the city of Carlsbad. The park is best known as the home of the internationally-renowned Carlsbad Cavern, which can be toured as part of guided and self-guided tours throughout the year. The stunning cavern is home to major attractions such as its Big Room limestone chamber, which stretches for 4,000 feet and is one of the largest cavern rooms of its kind in North America. A visitor center at the park offers educational exhibits on the region's ecology and leads interpretive programming such as bat flight viewings and nature hiking excursions.
