New Mexico!

Our first stop, July 16th, in Mexico was White Sands National Monument, but due to a lightening storm we headed 24 miles past and camped out at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park.

Then on the 17th we got to go to White Sands and do a 4.6 mile hike through the dunes. Although the sand was wet and easy to hike through the sun was hot, so we headed to Sitting Bull Falls in the Lincoln National Forest. The Falls were smal but there was enough water to swim around a bit and cool down. We ended the night in Guadalupe National Park (Back in Texas) where we camped out.

On the 18th we crosed the border again and entered New Mexico again and headed to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The caverns were amazing and considering that it is only 56 degrees in there it was an awesome break from the 103 degrees outside! Unfortunately most of our pictures from the caverns didn't come out, but we did get one of the "Three Giants" which were three really cool stalagmites in the Big Room of the Cavern.
