Carlsbad Caverns National Park » Reduction in Slaughter Canyon Cave Tours for Summer 2009
While very popular for those who give and take this tour, this tour is labor intensive and serves very few people per year. Tours are currently offered twice a day from Memorial Day to Labor Day and on weekends only the rest of the year. Limit is 25 people. The age limit is 6 years old.
On a trial basis, the number of tours will be limited to one per day from Memorial Day to Labor Day and age limit will be increased to 8 years old. The age limit will remain if effect through Dec 2009 when visitor counts will be reviewed and comments received from the public.
