Caverns question
Allow me to add that given you are going to Carlsbad Caverns, take the added
tours to the rooms closed to the general public. These costs extra, but are well worth the extra cost. http://www.nps.gov/cave/tour-gui.htm "Baro" wrote in message ... "Baro" ha scritto nel messaggio ... Hello everybody. I'm Paolo from Italy. I'm planning a trip in AZ and NM in June. I have a question: I have to decide between Carlsbad Caverns or Kartchner. I've searched for a comparision, but I didn't find it. What is your suggestion? Thank you in advance Paolo I would like to tank you for your answers. I've decide for Carlsbad. I hope to be there at dusk for the "bat experience" Thank you again. Paolo |

One of the caves I've most enjoyed is about 5 hours' drive east of Carlsbad, near Sonora, TX off I-10; it's a smallish show cave with some of the most interesting speleothems I've ever seen: http://www.cavernsofsonora.com/index.php?id=303 and the closest I've come to a "wild cave" experience in a show cave. Really nice cave. It's also not far from Monahans Sand Dunes, another area I really enjoyed. Climb a dune at sunset, settle back, and watch the stars come out....

Great!!! I'll take the "extra tour". Thanks Paolo Well worth it. (We especially liked Lower Cave and Slaughter Cave. Spider sounded too rough and scary for us) but book as far in advance as you can. They only have a few trips and the groups are very small. Also, regular rental cars cannot be taken into Mexico. If you go to Juarez, I'd suggest you park in El Paso and take the Border Jumper Trolley: http://www.borderjumper.com/routesAndRates.asp |

Caverns question
Bring a jacket. It's about 50F (10C) deep in the caves. I spent a long,
chilly afternoon one August. I think the cave temperature is constant, year round, in the deeper caverns. "Baro" wrote in message ... "Lawrence Akutagawa" ha scritto nel messaggio . net...
