Cave of the Winds
Cave of the Winds is the oldest of the Pikes Peak area attractions, and still one of the most popular. They offer three tours:-
Introductory Discovery Tour (45 minutes) that follows a 3/4-mile passageway through 20 subterranean chambers filled with stalagmites, stalactites, crystal flowers, and limestone canopies. Narrow passageways and over 200 stairs make even this tour unsuitable for some visitors.
- A lantern tour (1 1/2 hours) conducted the way tours were given in 1895.
- For the adventurous, an Explorers Trip (3 to 4 hours).
