How can you share your favorite photo of Carlsbad Caverns with the world? ... Easy. Tag it @CarlsbadCavernsNPS.

More than 400,000 people visit Carlsbad Caverns every year, and each of them takes from hundreds to thousands of pictures. As you post your photos to social media, tag them @CarlsbadCavernsNPS, and then everybody can enjoy them at once.

We’ll be watching, too. If we see something really fresh, fun, and innovative, we’ll reach out to you. Look for comments or direct messages from us that are branded with the official NPS arrowhead. In Instagram, you’ll also see a blue “verified” check mark.

  1. We’ll ask your permission to share the photo(s) on Carlsbad Caverns’ National Park Service official sites.

  2. We’ll ask you to email us an original resolution copy and some caption information including your full name and hometown, the date and place where it was taken, and any stories you want to add for context.

  3. Finally, we’ll also ask your permission to use your photo for other possible uses in the future, such as fliers, posters, exhibits, school outreach, and props that park rangers use during their programs. You retain the copyright. You’re just granting these limited non-commercial uses to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, the National Park Service, and the Department of the Interior.

Sorry, we can’t use images with watermarks or that overtly promote a product or cause.

Thanks for visiting and sharing your favorite moments through @CarlsbadCavernsNPS.
