The Ice Caves and the Bandera Volcanoes are the most exciting places in New Mexico. The Ice Caves are so cool, you can explore these treasure caves for hours. Inside them you will find wonderful things like ice sculptures and lots of ice cold water. These Ice Caves were here in New Mexico for a very long time and they are still standing. The other place to go to is the Bandera Volcanoes. These volcanoes are to hot to go in but you can walk up the outside of this awesome volcano. If you walk up the trail for the first time you will actually see a real volcano. These volcanoes are about 800 feet in depth and are over 1,000 years old.
