Entrance to the park enters the Guadalupe mountains and in about 6 miles up the mountain to the entrance to the caves.
You can take the natural entrance to the caves which winds its way down and takes about an hour to the bottom or take the elevator which takes 57 seconds to drop you 754 feet. We opted for the elevator as it was a little late in the day and Deb was a little unsure about all this cave stuff and closed in spaces.... Above picture is a walkway through the great room which is really big and dark. Very hard to get good pictures.
The walk through the great room was about a mile and a half and a constant 56 degrees. Really a spectacular place and worth the trip.
Can't you see me smiling? Even though I am 754 feet under the ground??? Sure this is a real smile, no I don't want to explore more caves with a lighted helmet... ;-)
