Diet And Travel

 I am linking up with  Oh, the places I've been @ Tablescaper   and check out  Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend   And Friday Postcards

 It has been awhile since I have done a travel post, I never really shared all of the sights we saw while visiting New Mexico and Texas.. These photos are from that trip and a stop at the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.





The Pinery trail is located behind the Pine Springs Visitor Center.


The Pinery trail has exhibits describing the vegetation of the Chihuahuan Desert.






The views of Guadalupe Mountains from the visitor center.



Driving along the National Park Highway we stopped and took a look at El Capitan from the opposite side.


The view of Guadalupe Peak and El Capitan. It is the 8th highest peak in Texas.

Not far from the pull out for El Capitan we stopped at this Lake Linda..The layers of blue were very pretty.

I hope you enjoyed my travel post.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

 Hubby and I spent a week's vacation sightseeing around New Mexico and spent 3 nights in Carlsbad. These are some scenes from inside the Carlsbad Caverns located in Carlsbad, New Mexico.



The stadium seats outside are used mainly for the bat flight in the evenings.


Exploring the Big Room. There is a paved one mile loop trail to follow and lit up to highlight some of the more decorated parts of the caverns. Access to the Big Room is either by the elevators ( descending 750 ft)  in the visitor center or walking the mile down from the Natural Entrance. We did both the Natural Entrance and the Big Room walk.




I would not want to use this ladder, do you want to try exploring new rooms? This is not it but they have one section called the Bottomless Pit. And there are some sections yet to be explored and are not open to the general public. You can pay extra to go on separate guided tours, more on the experienced level of caving or what my hubby calls spelunking.


I wanted to show the size of some of the cave formations with hubby standing somewhat next to one. It is said that 6.2 football fields could fit inside the BIG Room which totals 357,480  sq ft.



I took a lot of photos inside the caverns and I can only post so many, I would to show some of the decorations and colors. One of my favorite decorations are called Draperies.



I hope you enjoyed my travel post.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.
