Ogle Cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park

A permitted work trip was made into Ogle Cave for the purposes of changing out radon monitors and re-flagging the trail. Ogle has a 180-foot entrance pit and one of the tallest columns in the world. It also has many guano mining relics that date back to the early 1900s.
