Caves in Colorado

12 Caves Found

Colorado's cave country runs along the Front Range limestone belt from Colorado Springs to Glenwood Springs. Cave of the Winds on the flanks of Pikes Peak has been drawing visitors since 1880, with a Lantern Tour option recreating early exploration. Glenwood Caverns sits inside Iron Mountain above Glenwood Springs, reached by gondola — the aerial approach over the Colorado River canyon is worth the trip before the cave even begins.

Every cave listed here is on public or accessible land. Always bring three light sources, water, and let someone know your plans before entering any undeveloped cave. Temperature inside: typically 50–62°F year-round. Explore all caves on the Trek4Free map →
