4,5,6 - Carlsbad Caverns
From Fort Davis, we did a quick stop at the McDonald Observatory on another scenic high desert drive. The Guadalupe Mountains National Park is pretty remote and undeveloped and beautiful, of course. There is not a road through the park. Only 40 some miles on to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Another awesome national park. We did the self-guided tours and the ranger guided tour. Very impressive.

Comments from Eldon: Carlsbad Caverns was more majestic than I expected. More mammoth than Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.

Comments from Harry: The roads have too many curves. Napping is tough at times. I think I saw a little prairie dog the other day. We were eye to eye when his head came out of the hole.
