Still exploring our local recreational opportunities
with family visitors here in central Colorado. Up to Glenwood
Caverns and Adventure Park yesterday.
What a cool place. You can take all manner of cave tours, from mild
to wild, or do a variety of creative adrenaline rides such as a mountain
slide, and gigantic swing that sends you out over a 1,000 foot cliff
at about 50 mph. We opted for a crawl tour of the cave. Highly recommended.
A real caver takes you on a moderate but physical tour that
involves a bunch of crawling and tight squeezes.

Inside the cave, the kids were wriggling around like they were born to it. Training for backcountry skiing? Everything helps.
