Woitelo Irtistt undeirolund AthylemetCarlsbad Caverns National Park, in the GuadalupeMountains of southeastern New Mexico is a subter-ranean fairyland which ranks with Grand Canyon as oneof the great natural scenic wonders of the world.

Scientists estimate Nature has spent 60,000,000 yearsin forming these Caverns-but no one knows how deepand far this amazing "Underworld" extends under theearth's surface. To date, more than 23 miles and 3 levelshave been explored. The first level, 750 feet below thesurface, is open to visitors the year 'round.The tremendous size of the chambers in CarlsbadCaverns is almost unbelievable. The "Big Room" aloneis 2000 feet long, 1100 feet wide, 285 feet from floor to

ceiling. No photograph yet taken reveals more than aninfinitesimal part of its glories.

Throughout the Caverns, acres of multicolored sta-lactites hang from the ceiling. Forests of grotesquestalagmites, weighing many torts each, rise from thefloor. Legions of fantastic formations-such as theChinese Temple, Lady at the Organ, and Rock of Ages-meet the eye at every turn.

But like trying to describe the Grand Canyon, it isdifficult to picture in words the silent grandeur anddelicate coloring of this underground fairyland wherethe light of the sun has never reached since the dawnof time.

ENTRANCE TOCARLSBAD CAVERNS

Seeing is believing!Carlsbad Caverns is a scenic attraction every Americanshould see—for only by seeing will you believe thatsuch a fairyland exists. It is unusual, interesting, edu-cational and mysterious—yet convenient and easy tosee as a part of your Santa Fe trip to or from the west.

A Bit of the Caverns' HistoryAll that is known of the first man to see the entrance ofCarlsbad Caverns is that he was an Indian. Evidences ofprehistoric inhabitation are the circular rock mescal orcooking pits and the grinding bowls found on the sur-face near the entrance and the paintings, or pictographs,found on the walls of the entrance. It is doubtful, how-ever, that the Indians ventured far into the Caverns.

Early pioneer trails passed near the Caverns' entrance.The Spanish conquistadors are believed to have comeinto the Guadalupe Mountains near the Caverns, andthe historic old Butterfield Express Trail (the firstexpress trail across the West) crossed the route of theSpaniards at this point.

Following closely the wayfarers of the ButterfieldTrail came the cattlemen and the first permanent settlers.They knew of the Caverns, referred to them as the BatCave, and may have explored portions of them. The firstreal interest in the cave, however, lay not in its naturalbeauty but in the discovery of its valuable deposits ofbat guano. Mining operations to remove this nitrate-rich fertilizer began at the turn of the century, and theguano miners made exploration of the undergroundchambers and passageways. Among these early explorerswas a local cowboy, Jim White. He was impressed bythe wonders he saw beneath the surface and took everyopportunity of visiting the Caverns and in encouragingothers to visit them.

As more settlers came to the region the fame of theCaverns grew, and in 1923 Robert Holley, of the GeneralLand office, United States Department of the Interior,surveyed the cave to determine whether it should beincluded in the superlative areas making up the NationalPark System. His report stressed the magnificence ofthe Caverns and on October 25, 1923, President Coolidgeproclaimed the area the Carlsbad Cave National Monu-ment. Also in 1923, and again in 1924, Dr. Willis T. Lee,of the Geological Survey, made comprehensive explor-ations, and the publishing of his findings in the NationalGeographic Magazine gave the Caverns national pub-licity. An act of Congress, approved May 14, 1930,changed the status of the area to the Carlsbad CavernsNational Park. Along the TrailThe Carlsbad Caverns do not display their full gloryimmediately upon entrance. It is only when you start

down the trail that you realize how completely youhave left behind accustomed things for the experiencesand sensations of another world.

Visitors proceed along the trail through the maincorridor, past the Iceberg (a giant boulder estimatedto weigh 200,000 tons), and enter the Green LakeRoom, which derives its name from a small green poolalongside the trail. Next comes the Frozen Falls, andthen a short passage leads into The Palace, consistingof the King's Room, the Queen's Chamber, and thePapoose Room.

Here and there powerful electric floodlights pick outpoints of transcendent beauty on the distant walls andceilings, as though to reassure us that this great shadow-land really has actual and definable limits.

Leaving the Papoose Room, the trail leads to theLunch Room through a series of corridors of majesticproportions.

Luncheon is served in a cavern room that has been"air-cooled and air-conditioned for a million years."This unique underground dining room is 320 by 100feet, 750 feet below the Earth's surface and is fitted withelectric lights, running water, benches and tables. Herea stop of about three-quarters of an hour is madefor lunch.

Shortly after lunch, visitors take up the trails thatlead about that enormous cavity in the earth that hasappropriately been named the Big Room.

There is nothing of the kind on the known globe tobe matched against this stupendous subterraneanchamber. It is more than one-half of a mile long.Its maximum width is over 1100 feet. The maximummeasured height of the ceiling is over 285 feet. Uponits floor our party is of no more consequence than aline of ants marching through a big warehouse.

In dimensions alone the Big Room is awesome, sub-Hine. Stalactites, resembling icicles, ranging fromneedle-like spines to enormous masses, whose lengthand weight cannot be estimated, completely cover theceiling. The walls are frozen cascades of flowstone.

The indescribable glory of form and substance ofCarlsbad Caverns has been created in utter darkness,particle by particle, through a million years. Yet,against the ultimate coming of light, the finishingtouches of color have been added. There is the smoothwhiteness of gypsum talc; the blue-green white of ice;the sparkling brilliance of frost; the black and grey andbrick red of the basic rocks; the jade green of flow-stone; the shell pink and tea-rose in the stone curtainsand portieres; the light cream of the great domes andthe turquoise blue of the pools.

The Return TripAfter completing the 134-hour circuit of the Big Room,including passage through the "Hall of Giants" section,

a short stop is again made at the Lunch Room. Herethe party divides. Those who leave by trail are conductedto the surface over the entrance route. The walk tothe surface is available only for those who join the 10and 11 o'clock tours. Others take the two elevators tothe surface.

The trip from the ticket office to the Lunch Roomby trail is 13 miles. Around the Big Room, returningto the Lunch Room, the distance is 134 miles, a total of3 miles, if one leaves the Caverns by elevator. For thosewishing to walk out, the added distance is 1 mile, or atotal of 4 miles round trip.

Open the Year AroundCarlsbad Caverns National Park may be visited anytime of the year. The elevation of 4,400 feet at theentrance to the Caverns helps to temper the summerheat, yet is not sufficient to cause extreme or long con-tinued cold in winter. Once underground, the seasonof the year has no effect, owing to the unvaryingtemperature of the Caverns.

The Air is Cool and Freshalways 56 degrees

The air in the Caverns is uniformly cool and fresh, andthe temperature stands unvaried at 56 degrees Fahren-heit—summer and winter.

The sense of oppression that is experienced in manycaves is utterly lacking in Carlsbad Caverns. In thisrespect it is impossible to realize that at times you aremany hundreds of feet below the Earth's surface.
