Despite it being a Friday, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in southern New Mexico, was fairly empty when I got there! Sometimes it's good to be an early riser.If you've been keeping up, you know that Carlsbad is the third cave system I've visited on this trip, after Mammoth Cave and Wind Cave. I'd call Carlsbad is more of a traditional cave, with huge stalactites and stalagmites, draperies and columns, pits and pools. The formations are eerily beautiful, and I can't imagine what it must have been like for the original explorers to discover such a strange new world underground. (Actually, they likely didn't even see most of the formations with little but candles to light the way.)
As previously disclaimed, it's tough to take good pictures 750 feet underground, but I think I managed to get a few good ones.

Great shots! Yeah, photography without a flash or tripod is very tough.
Don't worry, you're not the first to take a pic of the Hershey's Kiss in Carlsbad :)
