Colossal Caverns are located just outside of Tucson in Vail, AZ. There are numerous things to do here from camping, horseback riding, hiking and cave tours.
These pictures are from the regular cave tour. They also offer one called the 'ladder tour' that allows you to take on a real cave adventure as you go crawling on your hand and knees through tiny paths, rock climb through portions and use rope ladders to hoist yourself through the cavern. After seeing some of the tiny holes I can't decide if I think it would be a blast or a claustrophobic mess. Colossal is considered a dry cave and therefore, doesn't have the shiny wet appearance on the rocks inside the cave. Due to the dry appearance, some of the formations within the cave appeared fake although, they were the real deal.
