Adventure Cave Tour
The Adventure Tour, new in 2005, is less
strenuous than the Wild Tour but more challenging than the Cave Tour. This 90
minute tour allows cavers to explore new areas of the cave, with some belly
crawling, ending in a room filled with incredible formations. Total time
required is 2 1/2 hours to allow time to "gear up" and "gear down" before and
after the tour. Age restrictions apply, please call for more information.
Wild Cave Tour
Adventuresome types will delight at this unusual and
exciting opportunity to try something new! Designed for the non-claustrophobic,
the Wild Tour offers a physically demanding and thrilling excursion into one of
Colorado's premier caverns. An experienced, highly trained guide leads this
3-hour exploration adventure. We supply you with a lighted helmet, kneepads and
gloves. On your journey, you will explore rarely visited areas of the cave
preserved in their natural, undeveloped state. This is an exciting on-your-belly
and walking experience that allows the visitor to see awesome cave formations
that few people have ever seen. Away from the commercial lights and trails,
you'll understand what it is like to explore the unknown much like the original
discoverers of Glenwood Caverns. The Wild Tour is an adventure for older youth
groups (13 and over) accompanied by an adult, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Boys & Girls Clubs, and church groups; family groups with teenagers; college
students and classroom groups; adults; and corporate groups seeking a
team-building experience.
