Recently we decided to expand our stamps on the National Parks Passport, and we took to the southern border. It felt like we were in Mexico, but that’s for another day.
As many of you know, many beautiful natural gems lie in New Mexico. We visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park. If you love exploring deep, dark crevices, this is the spot for you!
We got to enjoy bat exploration hour at sunset. I have never in my life experienced a group of 100-plus humans collectively staying silent during something so beautiful as watching bats exit their cave to explore for the night. Park rangers are serious about phone use; they will give you a citation if they see anything in hand. I absolutely loved watching so much respect for nature.
The entire park is underground, making it the ideal place to be when the heat is already reaching 85-plus degrees; the Chihuahuan Desert is no joke!
Check out some of the stunning rock formations we came across.
The entire park has a beautifully paved walkway which does have accessibility options for all to enjoy.
The dragon. Love how nature creates its own beauty.
Nature at its finest underground.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
