Scenic highway to Carlsbad caverns gains grand approach
Local boosters describe the new seven mile road from the canyon mouth to Carlsbad caverns as a scenic marvel. They note the grade, passable two-car width, no sharp bends, and safe descent. A picnic ground near the final climb and a spring delivering fresh water are highlighted as future amenities. The Pecos Gateway road and links to Hobbs and the Texas border are planned, with the Park-to-Park highway extending toward Mesa Verde in time.
