Day 20: Roswell, NM and Carlsbad Caverns Bat Flight

We were all pretty much wiped out by this point.  Roswell, NM was a fun way to end an amazing trip.

After Roswell, we drove to Carlsbad Caverns.  We were too late to tour the caves, but made it just in time for the bat flight program.  We listened to the park ranger talk about the bats and then sat in the outdoor viewing area as thousands of bats flew out of the cave at dusk. Cell phones and cameras aren't allowed at the bat flight program, but there's a good picture on the National Park Service's website here.
