Centennial celebration at Carlsbad Caverns National Park




Celebrating 100 years for the Park! The last time I was here was as a young kid. A lot more infrastructure up top, but the caves look the same.

Over 30 miles of cave passages have been explored with the deepest chamber at 1,037 feet below the surface. The caverns are home to hundreds of thousands of Brazilian free-tailed bats that make their dramatic exit in the evening.
