Carlsbad Caverns National Park: Here Is What You Need To Know

In this video, we take you on an amazing hike, down 75 stories, into Carlsbad Cavern, with our 77 year-old mom! If she can do, so can you! 

This is a wonderful experience but there are a few things you need to know before you go :) 

1. Get a reservation on www.Recreation.gov - Don't chance getting turned away as this is a very popular National Park.
2. Dress for 56 degree weather and wear proper shoes.
3. Know where the restrooms are, once you enter from the natural cave entrance, there is nothing until you get to the bottom.
4. If you must wear a head (which you don't need and will just ruin your experience) be respectful and don't shine it in other peoples face. It takes the human eye 20 minutes to recover to the dark lighting.

Most of all, have an amazing time exploring your national Parks!

We are Dan & Deb, a full-time corporate patent attorney and retired geogrpahy teacher, empty nesters. We sold the big  house and live a quiet simple life in a Tiffin Wayfarer with our Miniture Australian Sheppard, Olive. We love to travel and so most Friday's we hit to road is search of adventure. 

Our travel is focused on North American road tripping that gives us access to cross-country and off-road mountain biking, hiking that makes you climb, crawl or squeeze yourself through, and whitewater kayaking appropriate for our inflatable Duckie, & birding. 

You will find us boondocking on BLM land, behind a Cracker Barrel, or in a state or national park as we explore the outdoors.
