With our mirror fixed, it was a short drive of about an hour from Carlsbad Caverns to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. This particular park is small but incredibly beautiful.
The obligatory pose for the national parks…
Guadalupe Mountains is a relatively small park. We went for a small hike, saw the ruins of the 1830s Butterfield Station, and the kids completed the book for the junior ranger badge.
It was a quick stop, but worth the visit. And we headed off toward Las Cruces, New Mexico.
