The caverns offer at least 3 miles of underground hiking on paved trails through the tastefully lighted cavern. The park also offers optional guided tours ranging from mild to wild and can be booked in advance. Limited hiking opportunities above ground in the park through high desert terrain.
From the city of Carlsbad, NM, follow US 62/180 West approximately 15 miles to the park entrance.
