Carlsbad, located along the Pecos River, has many wonderful outdoor activities for you to enjoy its natural beauty. Whether you love to fish, hike or golf, Carlsbad has a lot for you to choose from. One of the biggest reasons people come here is to actually go underground and explore the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. There are over 100 caves that have been discovered to date. The Lechuguilla Cave is one of the largest in the world but it isn’t accessible to the general public. The Carlsbad Cavern though lets you choose to explore on your own or with a guided tour. You’ll love seeing the formations, crevices and crannies that exist. You just might want to keep an eye open for the hundreds of thousands of bats that call it home. Once the sun sets it is a fascinating site to see them leave and fly against the dark sky.
