Cave of the Winds
Cave of the Winds is located near Colorado Springs and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings in Colorado's Pikes Peak region. The cave was discovered in 1881 by brothers George and John Pickett and has been open to the public as a show cave for more than a century, showcasing spectacular sights such as a Silent Splendor room containing rare crystalline speleotherms and unique passages such as its Old Curiosity Shop narrow passage, which offers glimpses of formations such as the Colorado Rose and Spider Web Valley. The cave deserves to be one of the most beautiful caves in the United States.
Daily guided cave excursions, including 90-minute lantern tours emphasizing the cave's history, folklore, and popular ghost stories, are available. A Terror-Dactyl free-fall cliff diving ride and a Wind Walker ropes obstacle course are also available as family attractions.
