Carlsbad Caverns National Park is extremely well-maintained and staffed. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit there. The caverns are cavernous to say the least. There are many various formations there: stalactites, stalagmites, column, straws, popcorn, draperies. It is just amazing that all this was formed millions of years ago in an area which is now 750 feet below ground. The Big Room, as it is called, is the size of 14 football fields and takes more than an hour to walk around once.
It is difficult without a lot of photographic skill and great equipment to make really good pictures in the low-light conditions. Here are some from my tiny Lumix with a few saturation adjustments in Photoshop Elements so that you can get an idea of our experience.
Judy, I am enjoying the blog. I were in these caverns in 1966, a long time ago. It brings back memories to see these pictures. Keep up the good work with the blog. Very interesting!!! Jean L
