United States New Mexico Entrance

Carlsbad Cavern Natural Entrance

A vast subterranean chamber known for its intricate limestone formations, home to a large bat population and part of a renowned cave system.

Tips from the community

You can enter the Carlsbad Caverns via elevator, but if you want something a touch more rugged, hike into the caves via the Natural Entrance Trail. Although only 1.25 miles long, this trail has a very steep elevation change of 750-feet, about the same as climbing up or down a 75-story building.
