This High Country Jeep Tour exceeded my expectations with Big D from Adventures Out West in beautiful Colorado Springs. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. What an amazing way to see the Rocky Mountains up close and personal. Bring a sweater it's chilly!
2. Cave of the Winds Mountain Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,949 reviews
Discovered in 1881, Cave of the Winds has been a premier Colorado attraction for more than a century. Explore amazing caverns, experience total cave darkness, and marvel at the beauty of formations hundreds of thousands of years old. Then step outside and walk on the wind on the Wind Walker Challenge Course, fly like a bat on the Bat-a-Pult, and dive into Williams Canyon on the one of a kind aerial dive ride, the TERROR-Dactyl. Lots of family fun, amazing views and memories to last a lifetime!

We had a great time. Matt and Wesley were kind and patient as our guides on the Via Ferrata Tour, Carissa was funny and authoritative as our guide for the Lantern Tour, and the Wind Walker playground is also amazing.

We went to the Victorian lunch. The lunch and service was excellent. Because it is high tea they provide hats for the ladies to wear, the decor is elegant and the china dishes and tea pots are lovely. After lunch we took the self guided tour which is very interesting. The castle is very unique. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
