Carlsbad Caverns

After half a day of hunting aliens in Roswell we needed a change. What better way of leaving this world by going into the mythical underground... and New Mexico's south is a fantastic place of doing so with the Carlsbad Caverns at the border to Texas.



Like the mythical underground this cave is keeping a surprise ready for its visitor... in this case a much nicer one then a three headed dog or Medusas... one of the biggest public accessible stalactite and stalagmite stone cave in America.



After nearly 5 hours of wandering around in this maze of astonishing stone formations we met the park rancher who sold us the tickets and who was totally surprised that we were still there. But this pictures really doesn't do the breathtaking beauty any justice.



As you can see New Mexico is not only made of desserts, cowboys, Aliens and UFOs. They have really scenic places here which are well worth seeing! With this knowledge we jumped in the car and continued our road trip.
