Carlsbad Caverns NP was our activity today. It was a rainy day but we would be inside the cavern so it worked out. Unfortunately, the elevator was out so we had to walk both ways. The trail is paved with handrails but steel and about 1.2 miles each way. We went slow and enjoyed the experience and was happy when we finally saw daylight and headed for lunch, then back to the camper to put our feet up, take some Ibuprofen and a cup of coffee.
