I'm not sure when things changed, but instead of two tall aliens, now there is one tall alien and two smaller aliens. Still an interesting stop.

There's only one road into Carlsbad Caverns and you have to drive right through White's City. If you look to your left as you're driving in you'll see a couple of ten-foot-tall wooden green aliens out in front of the White's City Trading Post. They seem totally out of place but, hey, weird is where you find it.
