Fun Fact: Carlsbad Caverns, in southeastern New Mexico, has been described as the 8th Wonder of the World. It contains 83 separate caves, including the nation's deepest limestone cave—1,597 feet—and third longest. The temperature is a constant 56 degrees. Besides the beauty of the glistening formations in the cave chambers, there are spirals of bats that exit the cave nightly from May through October.
