    Verso:

    u.l. printed: The Dome Room of Carlsbad Cavern branches \ off from the Big Room a short distance from \ the Lunch Room. It is a small Chamber not \ over 150 feet long, but resembles in many \ respects a highly ornamented chapel. Many \ rooms of this size are found connected with \ the Carlsbad Cavern, but this being the most \ convenient is the best known. At the far end \ of this room is a small opening known as \ the "Back Door" or the "Rat Hole" which \ many people delight to wriggle through in \ order to feel the thrill of Cave exploration. \ Data by the U.S. National Park Service.
