CARLSBAD CAVERNS, NEW MEXICO, USA
This magnificent place has taken 4 to 6 million years to form and is more beautiful than we could ever imagine.



We chose to hike 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) down to the Big Room, which is 230 meters (750 feet) below ground. The trail in the Big Room is another 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) long.

This cave is much bigger and deeper than we thought.
