In the words of travel blogger and friend, Engrid Barnett, “Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico is famed for its beauty and wonder — above and below ground. Located in the Chihuahuan Desert, it resonates with mystery, sacredness, and the timeless. From its deep rocky canyons and flowering cacti to its ancient sea ledges and desert wildlife, it’s utterly captivating and sublime. It contains 46,766 acres of stark desert beauty. But its main attraction remains hidden below the surface, a subterranean network of impossibly intricate caves and caverns. This underground playground, founded in 1930, includes jaw-dropping geologic formations — helictites, stalagmites, and stalactites. I’m so excited to share with you the incredible atmosphere of this otherworldly location, mystical and surreal. Stay tuned for more about Carlsbad, an unforgettable destination immortalized in music by composer, Lon Chaffin.”
