Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico

My girlfriend and I decided we wanted to go do something for the July 4th holiday weekend. We both had a couple days off, and decided to drive out to Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

We headed out Friday after work and drove to Hobbs. Stayed at the Hampton Inn Hobbs and then headed to the park the next day. These are the pictures from this trip, including a hike down through the natural entrance.
