The picture isn't from the NPS Web site, but I thought the accompanying text was a good background. This is a place I sure would love to go, but probably never will, given the skill requirements for getting there.

I'm also going to mention that while looking for a good Lechaguilla Cave picture, I discovered an amazing Web site with astonishing pictures about a cave system that is on the border of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (I think, based on what I read on the Web site). It would be inappropriate to take an image from the site, but here's the URL:

Caves of Kigitangtou Mountains: Cupp-Coutunn System

Wow, those are spectaular photos from the Uzbek cave. Nothing like it North America.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of Lechugilla before. It will probably be closed to the general public for decades, but it's incredible. And the Ubzek cave is beautiful.

ty. I know someone that is an active caver and the feeling in the caving community is that this structure should not be generally open to the public.
