Travel Guide New Mexico tm Carlsbad Caverns, Carlsbad, New Mexico
Take a turn in the comfortable 56°F climate and behold Carlsbad Caverns' stunning formations borne out of the earth's own vibrant imagination. The creation of the caves began some 250 million years ago, when the region was part of a vast inland sea. The caves weren't occupied until 1,000 years ago, when paleo-Indians first sought refuge there. Visitors today can enjoy self-guided or guided tours, back country explorations, camping and more.
The park contains more than 100 known caves, including Lechuguilla Cave—the nation's deepest (1,567 feet) and third longest limestone cave. Don't miss The Big Room; it's the size of eight football fields combined. There are self-guided and ranger-guided tours. Reservations are recommended for Kings Palace, Left Hand Tunnel, Slaughter Canyon Cave, Lower Cave, Spider Cave, and Hall of the White Giant tours.
Expect ladder climbs, pool crossings, tight crawls and climbing. Oh, and bats - at dusk between May and October, you can witness 400,000 Mexican freetaile bats take to the night!

Skip to ▶ Entering the Cave ???? 2:32
In this episode we explore the Carlsbad Caverns located in Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico. ???? The Big Room in Carlsbad Caverns is the largest accessible cave chamber in North America. ????You can walk down into it without any special equipment though warm clothes and flashlight is advisable! The temperature inside is 13°C ( 56°F) throughout the year with high humidity. ❗ The entrance cost is 12 ???? for adults. It takes around 1-2 h to walk down into it one way with many stops, picture taking etc. You can also take an elevator that will bring you straight down to the cave, but I highly recommend taking a walk to fully enjoy the scenery! ???? It is something that will not disappoint you! Very special place with magnificent views and atmosphere! ????

???? ROAD TRIP ACROSS USA 2018 ❗❗❗
???? I had dream to drive across the USA, from coast to coast. Of course, the preparations were essential, because I have never been to USA and this country was completely unknown to me. Approximately six months before the road trip each day of the trip was thoroughly planned.
???? During the preparations there were plenty of questions regarding the car rental, accommodation, food cost, whether you need a visa, insurance, where to book an affordable flight tickets from Europe, etc. Summer 2018 I made this dream a reality. The trip was 5 week long and we managed to cover more than 11 000 km across 18 states. Our starting point was New York ???? and the end destination was Los Angeles. What happened in-between is hard to put in words, so I tried to video record as much as possible to depict this epic road trip through video filming.
???? The purpose of this video is informative and entertainment. Every Sunday starting from 30.12.2018 I will be uploading videos from this road trip.
????If you like the video please ❗share❗ it with your friends! ????

Exploring Carlsbad Caverns: The Natural Entrance & Big Room Tours
On this Airstream Life vLog, we leave our awesome cow filled boondocking spot to drive over to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We take you with us as we explore the caverns. Starting with the Natural Entrance, the Green Room, and more before making it down 750 feet to the elevators and the Big Room. The whole cavern is absolutely spectacular. Words, photography, and video just don't do it justice so we highly recommend coming yourself.
Some tips for exploring Carlsbad Caverns include:
1) Wear good shoes
2) There are handicap accessible areas that are gorgeous!
3) Do the Natural Entrance is you can
4) Don't use a flash! It will saturate all your photos. Instead hold your camera as still as possible.
Exploring Carlsbad Caverns was one of the top things we have ever done while full-time traveling in our RV. We highly recommend it!
Stay tuned for a windy but beautiful hike in the nearby Guadalupe Mountains on the next video.

Exploring Carlsbad Caverns: A Journey Through Nature's Plumbing System
What good are caves? In a practical sense, they are nature’s plumbing system and homes to many animals. For people with various needs, values and levels of curiosity, caves provide places for adventure, shelter, and cutting-edge research. Discoveries made in caves offer us a glimpse into the past and the future and continue to lead us into future exploration. The National Park Service protects 81 sites that contain over a thousand limestone caves and lava tubes. About a dozen sites offer tours where park visitors enjoy scenic views made up of slow-growing speleothems — what you may know as stalactites, stalagmites, cave bacon, etc. Visitors also marvel at the fish, bats and insects that call caves home, but it is microbes that are a main form of life in caves. By studying bacteria that exists underground, scientists are gaining a better understanding of how biology shapes our world and influences geology. Cave microbes may hold a key to a cure for cancer or may help us recognize life on Mars. Caves also preserve evidence of ancient cultures, such as pictographs and stone tools, and keep alive the spirit of exploration through the stories of past and current explorers. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is universally recognized as a World Heritage site and contains the deepest limestone cave in the United States and the largest easily accessible cave room in the world. The caves are known for the huge size of their chambers, that result from an unusual cave hollowing process, through Sulfuric acid dissolution. Through this electronic field trip featuring Carlsbad Caverns and other National Park caves, participants will explore and experience live below the surface to learn more about this fascinating ecosystem (including geologic processes, the twilight zone, value of water, historical uses, and animal adaptations to life without sunlight, such as fish). Come discover a different world as you go underground with the National Park Service and see where the caves lead you.
The Ball State University Electronic Field Trips project presented a series of electronic, video, and interactive teaching resources for students building upon the field trip theme. The project provided students with an an out of class experience by creating television episodes, webisodes, web content, and lesson plans regarding the themes of each episode.
At Ball State, the project served as a collaboration between the Teachers College, Teleplex, Emerging Technologies, and the Office of Information Technology. Episodes in the series ran from 1996 to 2009.

Carlsbad Caverns: the main attraction
There are caves and then there are Caverns. Carlsbad is definitely a Caverns class attraction.
There is so much to see and do here that sets New Mexicos Carlsbad apart from other cave attractions that we couldnt possibly list everything in one teaser video like this.
Adventurer Clint Pollock delivers the been-there-done-that experience in this short video featuring Ranger Geologist Paul Burger as they explore and expose Carlsbads Big Room, the 8 acre sized, stalagmite filled room that is 750 feet below ground, the bat flight of thousands of bats every night and, the 1 ¼ mile main entrance switchback trail that follows the original explorers path as they discovered this underground wonder.
Carlsbad is certainly for everyone with its updated elevator system that accommodates anyone wanting to see its secrets revealed. So, bring a flashlight, leave the baby stroller in the car and follow a self guided tour or hook up with one of the ranger guided tours to explore Carlsbad Caverns.

Tour Of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico Circa 1950
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a United States National Park in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. The primary attraction of the park is the show cave, Carlsbad Cavern. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Visitors to the cave can hike in on their own via the natural entrance or take an elevator from the visitor center.
The park entrance is located on US Highway 62/180, approximately 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Carlsbad Caverns National Park participates in the Junior Ranger Program. The park has two entries on the National Register of Historic Places: The Caverns Historic District and the Rattlesnake Springs Historic District. Approximately two thirds of the park has been set aside as a wilderness area, helping to ensure no future changes will be made to the habitat.
Carlsbad Cavern includes a large cave chamber, the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber that is almost 4,000 feet (1,220 m) long, 625 feet (191 m) wide, and 255 feet (78 m) high at the highest point. It is the fifth largest chamber in North America and the twenty-eighth largest in the world. The largest chamber in the world is the Sarawak Chamber in Malaysia.
Carlsbad Caverns 2018!
Our trip to the caverns for the first time, absolutely beautiful!
Driving from Texas to Carlsbad-Day 1
First day of vacation. Driving through the Texas desert near El Paso going to Carlsbad. Got a lot of rain in the desert - imagine that! - but the desert is beautiful. Going to see Carlsbad caverns and tour a bit of what the SouthWest has to offer. Let's get people to drive America again and spend their money at home.
BEACHES and CAVES (FROM DESTIN BEACH to CARLSBAD CAVERNS)[EPISODE 23 RVLIFE]
How could we possibly get from Destin Beach, FL to Carlsbad, NM in one week? Check out this video and find out how we did it. We made the big decision to continue our RV trip out west to California. After almost 2 months on the road, our family is loving the RV Life and are looking forward to seeing more of this amazing country. ????????????
Destin Beach Florida was fantastic! If you are interested in which beach was our favorite, check out how clear the water is hear at Destin Beach. The RV resort (Destin West RV Resort) was our absolute favorite. ????????????

CARLSBAD CAVERNS!!!! What an absolutely amazing place. You need to visit here. We stayed overnight at Brantley Lake State Park and thoroughly enjoyed the star gazing at night. The desert views were stunning and the amount of open space was very welcome after being stacked and racked into most of Florida's RV parks. ????????????

Exploring Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountain National Parks
We entered New Mexico from the southeast corner traveling from Texas through the town of Eunice New Mexico along Rt 176 to Rt 62/180 and continuing west to Carlsbad. If you are pulling an RV we do not recommend this route. Rt 176 and 62/180 are very heavily used by oil trucks traveling through oil/fracking country. Avoid this area if you can. When we arrived in Carlsbad there was more heavy traffic in town and more oil trucks. We headed north on rt 285 to find Brantley Lake State Park. It was a very quiet and peaceful location and we enjoyed our stay here. To avoid the Carlsbad traffic we did our shopping in the small town of Artesia NM and enjoyed 2 BBQ meals @ Henry's. We highly recommend this restaurant. Of course we wanted to explore the Caverns and Guadalupe Mountain during our stay but were not able to do both in one day. Neither of us had ever been in a cavern of this size and were blown away by the experience. Guadalupe Mountain is more of a hiking park but we enjoyed our time there as well. If you have the opportunity to visit one or both of these national parks don't pass on it because they are both true treasures.
RV Trip Planning | RV GPS | Full Time RV | Changing Lanes!
One thing we were concerned about before we started living in our RV and traveling full time was finding locations to camp. We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click Show More ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
UPDATE (November 2019): We still LOVE our Rand McNally GPS, but TechnoRV has switched to Garmin. See this article ( for more details.
We'd heard lots of warnings about never getting into national parks, state parks, etc. Well, we were in over 45 locations last year all over the East coast of the U.S. and about 15 so far this year out west. We've never had an issue finding a site, and we've stayed in Campgrounds, RV Parks, State Parks, USACE (US Army Core of Engineers) Sites, etc. Yes, National parks are much more size restricted, but there are plenty of big rig friendly parks outside the national parks! We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!

########### UPDATE ####################
As this video was in editing, we got the following update from RV Trip Wizard:
We have two significant product releases/tie-ins coming out. Within a few weeks we’ll be releasing an update to Trip Wizard that includes true RV-safe routing, taking into consideration not just height, but length, width, propane (or not), tunnels, bridges, etc. It will also allow custom settings on a per trip basis, so if you want to plan a trip without the RV, or with a different RV you can, without messing up your global settings. The other big release is our RV Life App 2.0. It’s actually out now for IOS, but it’s been a soft release. RV Trip Wizard customers will be able to get this app for $10 and will allow them to access the trips they have created in RVTW, as well as turn-by-turn GPS, access to all of the campground data, articles, and even offline maps for any or all states they wish for full access when no internet signal is available.
We had a chance to play around a bit with the RV Life App, and it looks very promising!
