Day 10

We'll spend the 10th day of our trip exploring Carlsbad Caverns National Park.


There are apparently two ways to enter the caves. The first, is by elevator from the Visitor's Center and the second is known as the Natural Entrance, which is a 1.25 mile trail that descends approximately 900 feet down a series of switch-backs into the cave. Of course, we're going to use the Natural Entrance!


It will take us approximately an hour to drive from our campground to the park. We plan to spend the day touring the caves and will hopefully take one or two Ranger led hikes. At the end of the day, we'll head back to our campground to hang out. Unfortunately, the campground takes us in the opposite direction of where we'll be heading on day 11, but there's nothing much we can do about that. After spending the night, we'll continue our Westward journey on Day 11.
