Carlsbad, NM


We had a long boring drive through the oil fields of Texas into New Mexico on Thursday. Austin was so colorful! 

We arrived on Thursday to enjoy a great sunset behind our cabin 

And woke up to everything being frozen! Luckily we were able to get a cabin from my sisters friend Brian, who owns the KOA. Nicest guy ever, and this place is clean, welcoming, and beautiful, so I definitely recommend staying here. 

On Friday morning we were able to relax, make coffee, and enjoy ourselves. Then we headed to the Carlsbad Caverns. There were barely any people around and it was a beautiful sunny 70 degrees out. Nick went down into the caves and I stayed up top to hike with Jackson(pictured above). We finally are in the mountains. Jackson is so happy! 

Here are a few of Nick's favorite photos of down below:

Nick took this great one of me when he was done caving and we met up on the trail. 

Saturday was great too! We drove through the valley to Sitting Bull Falls and were the only people there!

Super clear water at the bottom of the falls 


Oh, and there were cows in the road
