 Lion's Tail - Carlsbad Caverns - posted by ChapterhouseInc

The Lion's Tail stalactite is one of the most famous formations in the Carlsbad Caverns National Park -- so famous that it has its own postcard!

The Lions Tail is a stop on the handicapped-accessible Big Room tour, over on the west side of the room. It was Younger Sister Blaster's favorite formation when we were there, so I was sure to get a photo of it.

Fun Fact: We have been to Carlsbad three times, and each time we have sent the Lion's Tail postcard to someone! :)
