This is the Guadalupe Mountains. For hours we've driven and the topography is flat flat flat. Then out of nowhere this range just pops up. Of course Carlsbad Caverns are in these mountains![]()
along with a lesser know carvern system. The Lechuguille Cavern; visit this link to see the most amazing photos you'll ever see of cavern formations: http://www.undergroundofenchantment.com/ This cave is not open to the public. Only open for research, filming and microbiology studies.

These pictures were taken on my smart phone. Can you believe how beautiful the cave is??? Some formations are unbelieveable. The fun thing to do was look at the formations and see what our minds eye picked out. Like when you lay on your back and look at clouds and see a horse or monkey, etc.. A lot of fun. 
We had a wonderful time in the Carlsbad Caverns. Didn't do the Left Tunnel Ranger guided tour. Turns out AAA guide book is wrong, it isn't an easy hike. So we just did the self guided tour of the "Big Room". It's 1 mile long and takes minimum 1 1/2 hours. We took our time. Stopped and sat at times just soaking it in. We took about 2 1/2 hours. The temperature is a constant 56 degrees, year round. Carlsbad has approximatley 30 miles of traversed tunnels/caves. Compared to Lechuguillia's 100 miles.
