We have a travel dilemma. Should we go to Carlsbad Caverns next week on the way to Albuquerque, NM? It is a 13 hour drive to ABQ from where we are in Texas. We could stay in a motel in western Texas and get up and go to the caverns the next day. It is kinda on the way for us to go to the caverns. I really wanted to hit White Sands and Carlsbad, but if I am not sure that is doable. Anyone out there have any suggestions on any of this?
Thanks for any advice or thoughts. It is going to be out of the way for us to go there later. We will be staying about 5 or more hours away at another date and then heading west or north from those locations. It is almost too much thinking for me. LOL. I hate to add more expense to our trip, but I think it may be a fun side trip worth considering.

Thanks for the advice! It is appreciated b/c I am torn about not going to White Sands. We went to a really neat cavern in MT in 2010 and I want to see the difference. I wish White Sands was on the way to ABQ from the caverns, but of the two I have to agree. We can see the White Sands in Colorado too.
Do both if you can! Otherwise, I would probably say Caverns over Sands. Sands are cool if you can camp...otherwise you sort of just drive really far, take a look, maybe do some 'sledding", and then turn around and drive back. Caverns are awesome and will give you a little more to do.
