The winding, concrete path with serpentine curves gives visitors the sensation of descending deep into… the earth.
In the state of New Mexico, USA, there is a national park renowned for its stunning natural landscapes. This is Carlsbad Caverns National Park, located in the Guadalupe Mountains, established in 1930, covering an area of 18,926 hectares. Visitors are treated to an impressive tour of ancient caves formed over millennia.

One of the main access routes to the caves is a steep, winding path that is quite impressive. As you descend, the surroundings become engulfed in darkness, with light seemingly swallowed up. For this reason, this path is famously known as the “Road to Hell.”
The entire winding, steep path is over 2 kilometers long. (Image: Internet).
The entire winding and steep path extends over 2 kilometers, plunging deep into the earth. The vertical drop from the entrance to the main cave is equivalent to a 75-story building, and it takes visitors approximately 60 to 90 minutes to navigate.
Visitors will take about 60-90 minutes to make their way down.
After traversing the path, visitors can marvel at the stunning and ethereal beauty of the Grand Canyon cave.
