Listen in on us talking about our part 2 of New Mexico / Big Bend. We call Kelli’s parents and tell them about our hike in the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, the quick dip into Blue Hole Natural Spring in Santa Rosa and the beauty that is Big Bend National Park.

Beginning of the Carlsbad Caverns Natural Entrance Trail Specifically placed lights show the incredible detail of the stalagmites and stalactites Our necks hurt after the 2-1/2 hr hike was over Banger wanted to go back into hibernation in this cave Carlsbad Caverns is the largest accessible cavern in North American at 8.2 Acres We finally learned the difference between stalactites and stalagmites! Blue Hole Natural Spring is a constant 62 degrees Fahrenheit all year around

One of the many entrances to Big Bend National Park Chilling in the Rio Grande River next to the hot spring The Rio Grande separates Mexico and the United States. In this photo, Mexico is across the river and you can see a little canoe that takes people across the river. Beautiful views on the Lost Mines Trail in Big Bend Made it to the top!
