Observe two natural wonders of America: Carlsbad Caverns National Park and the epic flight of the bats existing in the cave.
Head
for the rugged Guadalupe Mountains in New Mexico’s southeast to explore
one of the world’s greatest cave systems, Carlsbad Caverns, and take in
an unforgettable wildlife spectacle while you’re there.
Carlsbad
Caverns encompasses some 4,000 feet of subterranean corridors and
chambers in a great belt of limestone, the remains of an ancient reef.
This breathtaking place—beautiful above and below the surface—was
declared a national park in 1930. Besides appreciating the geological
marvels, you’ll also have an incredibly special treat: You’ll watch
thousands of Mexican free-tailed bats as they corkscrew out from their
daytime roost in the cave to spend the night on the wing. This
ranger-interpreted evening program—which earned a Certificate of
Excellence from TripAdvisor in 2014—offers a visually awe-inspiring
portal into the unique ecology of Carlsbad Caverns.
Here’s your chance to experience one of wild America’s great sights—and one of the National Park Service’s grandest treasures.
