Overview

Please Note: This is a self-guided audio tour of the park. The tour does not go into the Caverns and entry tickets to the Caverns are not part of the purchase. You’ll need to buy admission separately from the official Carlsbad Caverns National Park website or at the visitor center when you arrive.

Journey into one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the Southwest—Carlsbad Caverns National Park. As you drive into the park, your audio tour shares the fascinating history, geology, and hidden stories behind this remarkable place, turning your visit into a rich, immersive experience.

Along the way, we’ll guide you to key viewpoints and prepare you for your stop at the Caverns with helpful tips and insights.

When it’s time to head underground, you’ll transition from your guided experience to the National Park Service’s official audio tour (not included).

Activity itinerary

Walnut Canyon Nature Trail

15m

This little trail is just a few hundred feet long, but you can explore a small patch of Chihuahuan Desert, with some possible shade provided by the cliffs of Walnut Canyon. Interpretive signs identify plant life found along the trail and throughout the park.

Walnut Canyon Nature Trail

15m

An easy, paved trail less than half a mile round trip leads to a vista point overlooking Walnut Canyon. Not much of a hike, but a decent view.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park Visitor Center

1h
Admission ticket not included

Here's where you'll pay for your entrance to the park, as well as purchase any additional tours you might want to do. You can also explore the exhibits, get a bite to eat in the cafeteria (open 8am-4pm), and do your souvenir shopping in the gift shop. Lastly, this is also where you access the cave, either using the elevator or the back door for the trail to the natural entrance.
