Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Eddy County, United States

4.5 (0)
Overview

United States National Park in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. It is best visited in spring or autumn, when the weather is mildest and the crowds thinner.

Why visit: Carlsbad and Mammoth — vast decorated chambers, and bat colonies that emerge at dusk in their thousands.

Things to do
  • ›Take a jacket: caves sit near 13°C all year
  • ›Book ranger-led tours ahead — the good ones sell out
  • ›Wear proper shoes for wet, uneven floors
  • ›Stay for the evening bat flight where there is one
