***BTW, do you remember that path cut across the cliff face at Sitting Bull Falls***
Back in 1961 we went inside that cave. It was not very deep. Now it is closed off.
(From Google Earth) it looks like there is now a paved road all the way to the falls. In 1960, much of the drive was over the rocks in the dry streambed, IIRC...
Next to the Caverns, Sitting Bull Falls was (literally) the coolest spot anywhere near Carlsbad; I really enjoyed the place...
