Enjoy a walking tour of Glenwood Caverns and Historic Fairy Caves that takes you through the historic sections of the caverns and out onto Exclamation Point, a cliffside balcony with panoramic views of Glenwood Canyon and the Colorado River. You'll also journey down into the mountain, on well-lighted walkways with handrails, to visit King's Row, the most highly decorated cave room in Colorado!
There are no worries if you don't like tight places: you will be exploring mostly huge wide-open underground rooms. The smallest passage you will be walking through measures 6 ft 4 in tall x 3 ft wide.
The Walking Cave Tour lasts about 70 minutes and is appropriate for most fitness levels. Our Walking Cave Tours depart throughout the day.
