A return to Carlsbad Cavern
Since its discovery at the end of the 19th century, Carlsbad Caverns has been an international destination for travelers. Being in West Texas for over 45 years, I have had the privilege of walking the same route from the Visitor’s Center, through the natural entrance, down 1.5 miles to the Big Room and 1 mile around the Room, to the elevators and up to the gift shops, with more than 100 different people from all over the world.
