Carlsbad Cavern Entrance
The trail winds down from the visitor's center right into this huge natural opening. Every night, millions upon millions of Mexican Freetail bats fly out of this same opening, but we couldn't stay to see it. Jo Ann wasn't really feeling well, and we left as soon as we got out.
In fact, we were really happy to find out they had an elevator that comes straight up from the bottom. The walk down nearly wiped us out - climbing back up would have been a total nightmare.
