I don't like to use the word 'awesome' but this place really was. We decided we wouldn't be wimps so we hiked down to the bottom of the caverns rather than take the elevator. Not so kind to the knees (Ed's) and back (mine). It was a mile and a quarter with a decline of over 800 feet and dark and slippery in spots. It was worth it though. It was sort of like descending into Dante's circles of hell. And the electricity was out due to the high winds so they were on emergency generators. I could just imagine how black it would have been down there without the few lights that were on. Oh, we took the elevator back up.

Those were great pictures of White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. We went to visit friends a few years ago in Shenandoah, VA and did a tour of Luray Caverns. We were very impressed. I have no idea if Carlsbad Caverns are larger but I am sure it was impressive.
White Sands even gave you and the car a free dermabrasion. Does your skin feel younger?
Love,
Nancy
