The Great Escape

Ep 39: Carlsbad Caverns National Park


Listen Later

🌍✨ Ready to go underground? In this episode of The Great Escape, I’m taking you deep into Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico — one of the most jaw-dropping cave systems in the world. From massive underground rooms that could fit a Taylor Swift concert to the legendary bat flight that first caught a cowboy’s eye in the 1900s, this adventure is full of history, humor, and a little sass.


👉 What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • The wild story of 16-year-old Jim White, who first explored the caverns (with just a ladder + lantern 😳)

  • Why the Big Room feels like stepping onto another planet

  • Fun facts about bats, stalactites, and stalagmites you’ll want to drop into your next trivia night

  • My own 2023 visit with my adventure pup, Molly 🐶 (even though dogs aren’t allowed inside the caves!)
