Hiking
Old Guano Trail is an in-and-out trail from Carlsbad Caverns National Park Visitor Center to Whites City Campground. It takes you over a historic road used in the early 1900s to haul guano from the caves.
Apart from beautiful desert views you'll see ruins and debris from the mining operations that took place here.
