High ancient sea ledges, deep rocky canyons, flowering cactus and desert wildlife—treasures above the ground in the Chihuahuan Desert. Hidden beneath the surface are more than 119 caves—formed when sulfuric acid dissolved limestone leaving behind caverns of all sizes.
Beauty is everywhere at Carlsbad Caverns. Take time to browse photographs from different trails in the cave, ranger-led tours, and gorgeous photos of the Chihuahuan Desert. Whether you're above-ground or below, nature's majesty can be found all around you.
The photos in our photo gallery are available for your personal or educational use. They may not be used or duplicated in any "for profit" manner (publications, marketing brochures, advertisements, books, calendars, etc.). Please always include a photo credit line "NPS Photo by photographer's name."
