Ladder
Tours
When
the CCC installed the
Colossal Cave tour route in the 1930s, they provided access to
a particularly beautiful section of the Cave - the Ladder Route.
Today, you can climb and explore this closed-off and infrequently
traveled section. You will wear a helmet and headlamp (provided)
as you climb ladders and squeeze through narrow passageways and
across bridges. After your tour, you'll enjoy a cozy fire and
a delicious southwestern dinner under the stars.
Wild Cave
Tours
Now you can explore the Wildside! Follow
the footsteps of early explorers through unlit, unmarked and rarely seen passageways extending 1/4
mile into the depths of the earth. Reservation and deposit required. Want more information? Just

or call us at (520)
