Jen at Cave Entrance

Carlsbad Caverns NM. The natural entrance is a giant sinkhole. The switchback trail continues down into the cave over a 2km distance, 230m below the surface. You then enter a series of chambers, the largest being 8.2 acres. That's the equivalent floor area of St Peter's in Rome and 2.5 Notre Dame cathedrals combined. Words cannot describe how wondrous it is!
