Summary

For Thanksgiving break Dahlia and I drove down to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. There were even some bats that had yet to migrate from the cave (a rarity this time of year), so we got to see them exit for their evening feast.

We also visited White Sands National Park, and celebrated Thanksgiving by camping in the Jemez Falls area of northern New Mexico. We ended the journey with a visit to Pagosa Springs, where it snowed fairly hard, resulting in some cool photos. Enjoy!
