Entrance to the Visitors Center
|
|
 |
The visitors center is on the top of a hill. The surrounding area isn't outstanding in any way
|
|
 |
In the visitors center, a 3D representation of the caverns. The visitors center and Natural Entrance are furthest away, against the far wall

In this view, the visitors center is at the top left

The morning after we toured the Big Room, we hiked down via the Natural Entrance. This was the scene on the way to the entrance
|
|
 |
There was lots of ocotillo cactus in the area, especially along the road to the visitor center.

The Natural Entrance
|
|
 |
The pathway down. It's paved all the way to the Big Room, as is the path around the Big Room.
|
|
 |
Swallows flying in and out of the entrance. There were generally a dozen going in and out at any time, except when I tried to take a picture of them!
|
|
 |
The pathway down. This is the last natural light we'll see until we come back up
|
|
|
 |
The ceiling here is very regular and almost flat and level

Can you see the reflection in the pond at the lower left?
