This live stream looks toward the natural entrance of Carlsbad Caverns in southeastern New Mexico, where visitors have long walked down into the cave. It is useful if you want to see the surroundings of the national park as they are right now before planning a trip.
About the caverns
Carlsbad Caverns National Park lies in the Chihuahuan Desert, on the edge of the Guadalupe Mountains. The cave system was formed over millions of years as sulfuric acid dissolved the limestone of an ancient reef. The natural entrance is the historic route that early explorers used, and it leads into a large, dark opening that contrasts sharply with the dry, open land around it.
What to watch on the camera
The view is most interesting in the early morning and late afternoon, when the low sun brings out the texture of the rock and the shadows of the desert scrub. Clear days give the best visibility over the surrounding terrain. Activity around the entrance tends to be heavier during daylight hours, so the stream can show a range of visitors at different times of the day.
Practical planning
The region is hot in summer and mild in spring and autumn, with cool nights year round at this elevation of around 950 metres. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking. The nearby Roswell and Cloudcroft cameras offer a sense of conditions elsewhere in the state, and the local weather block on this page shows what to expect today.
