Cave of the Winds Colorado Springs

I think every Colorado local has heard of Cave of the Winds. This cave was discovered by a couple of teenagers many years ago when howling sounds were heard. These days the cave has been nearly completely explored and the larger sections feature stairways with railing and flourescent colored lights to add a bit of artistic flair. Cave of the Winds also touts a high tech laser lights show that is projected onto a large flat canyon wall (made of rock). Perhaps the coolest part of the Cave of the Winds is the deep exploration tour. This special guided tour is set up for more adventurous souls who want to experience the thrill of old time true explorers. On many parts of the tour you actually have to squeeze yourself through long tight tunnels and there is no way to turn around! You get all decked out in gear and have a helmet and light... It's not for the faint of heart or clastrophobic! Expect to get dirty on this tour but definitely have a lifelong story to tell after you make it out.
