Visitors can descend about 830 feet below the surface to explore the stunning formations in this chamber.
The chamber was named for its grand and regal appearance, reminiscent of a royal palace.
Unlike some other parts of Carlsbad Caverns, King's Palace requires a ranger-led tour to ensure visitor safety and preservation of the formations.
The chamber features a variety of speleothems, including stalactites, stalagmites, and draperies, which are formed by mineral deposits over thousands of years.
The chamber was first explored by Jim White, a cowboy who played a significant role in the discovery and exploration of Carlsbad Caverns.
