... This created almost horizontal levels that are now the Carlsbad Caverns. The formations in the Cavern are caused by drop after drop of water bringing different minerals down into the Cavern.

When Jake and I left the Cavern, we were both quiet and contemplative…the Cavern left us with a deep, solemn ...
