Anyone have opinions on the various self-guided tour entrances -- the Big Room route versus the Natural Entrance route? Or the King's Palace guided tour, which seems the most likely one of the guided tours that we could do with an 8 year old who doesn't like getting dirty in tow?
Also, has anyone been to either White Sands or Guadalupe Mountains National Parks? Both are fairly close to Carlsbad, and look like they'd make for some fun exploring.
While I'm at it: Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest are must do's for us at some point, most likely on the next trip out to AZ. Thoughts on those as well would be great.
Especially if you have thoughts on any surrounding attractions, ruins, natural wonders, fossil sites (The Peanut says thanks in advance for hints on those!) or best pie in the universe diner recommendations. Locals always know the scoop on that sort of thing -- and I've been known to detour for some really good pie or ice cream.
Would love to hear about any family adventures folks have had in any of these parks as I ponder reconfiguring our summer vacation plans. Thanks in advance for any stories or advice, gang!
