Driving the Scenic Loop Road at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Southeast New Mexico

High clearance vehicles
are recommended
on this seven mile
scenic loop road.

Eric & I look out over an

undulating landscape.

All this land was under a
shallow sea millions of
years ago.

This escarpment reminds me

of Thatcher Park in

New York State. 

That's where we
came from.

The Moon looks down on

southeast New Mexico.

A washout causes a six
inch dip in this portion
of the road.

Wind & rain sculpt the

Limestone.

Eric continues to keep his eye
on the road as our drive
comes to an end.

There are several spots
that a low slung car would
have a hard time navigating.




The Park Ranger's advice is worth heeding..
