About this business

The Cave of the Mounds is one of the most significant caves in the Midwest of the United States.

My boyfriend and I traveled from Illinois to Colorado for vacation. We ended up at the Cave of Mounds and it was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Iza, was amazing!!! She made lots of funny jokes and made the experience so much better! Definitely want to come back to try the Lantern cave!
