This is now a joke for our family so i thought this would be a fun place to share it as well!... I have a ton of family that reside in Colorado Springs, and finally last July 2009, 4 and a half years after i started dating my internet business owner boyfriend (this will become important in just a few sentences), he finally agreed to go visit them with me for my grandma's 75th birthday. As part of our vacation, we decided to tour the caves with one of my aunts and cousin. It was magnificent!! We enjoyed every room in the cave -- one more so then others!! When we arrived in the small room with a sheet of plastic hanging, hiding a bunch of metal we had no idea what was going on. It was then that the guide explained the story of the 2 single sisters who found this room boring and decided to leave a hair clip returning the next year married to wealthy men. They continued to say that if you left a piece of metal in the room legend says you will return a year later a wealthy married woman. Well this excited me and i believed that it called for an enthusiastic woo hoo -- and so i delivered! Unfortunately i was without metal -- what to do? So my gracious aunt gave me a "Bobby" pin and I wore my new "bobby" pin with pride just until i exited the cave, leaving it hanging with all the other metal pieces. Just before exciting Bob, my boyfriend, and i posed for a picture with my ringless hand.... We'll skip to October 14th 2009, just 3 months after my visit to the caves, i was surprised with a beautiful diamond!! Was it a gift from my then fiance or just part of the legend?? I'm not sure, but as of April 24th 2010 just 3 months shy of a one year visit to the caves, i became Mrs. Egizi!!! I have to believe it had something to do with that old legend, and so did the guests who brought us wedding gifts all the way from the Cave of the Winds!!!!! |

i just moved to colorado, and my buddies came up to visit me from florida. we visited cave of the winds, and had a great time. i think the lantern tour is the way to go. [you get to see the first half of the regular tour with the lantern tour] our guide, aaron, made it even better. i will definitely be back with any other friends\family that visit, this is a must see if your visiting colorado. |

Just wanted to give the highest kudos to our tour guide, John. Our 8 year old kids (boy and girl) were resistant to going on the tour, they both thought it sounded "boring" and one was apprehensive. John was so entertaining that they both wanted to go back the next day.
Thank you for a wonderful experience, John. |

I enjoyed taking tours inside the cave. I am Christine McAden Thorn. I worked here as a tour guide March 2006 - August 2006.
when then my husband and I was stationed at Fort Benning GA so a move was to take place.
While working at cave of the winds I learned a lot about the cave, as well as worked in the Photo room.
This was certainly one of the most educational and fun employments I had ever experienced.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
and for any of you reading this guest book. if ever you are in Manitou Springs CO. you have got to go to Cave of the Winds!!

I had lived in Colorado Springs untill I was 8 and I finally went to Cave of the Winds last Saturday for a science project and I was sure glad I choose this place to come to. It was a magnificent experience. The caves were beautiful and had so many cool features. I am happy to have gone and suggest coming here whenever you have the chance. |

My brother Dave and I were tour guides at the Cave in 70,71,72.
For some reason, I googled the Cave and was amazed at the changes over the years. I left Colorado in 1973 and have not been back. However, a trip is planne dfor this summer and I will certainly make the tour of Cave of the Winos. |

We opted to take the 'Lantern' tour...our guide was Erin...he was very knowledgeable and made the tour informative & fun. Though we were a bit tired from the rugged terrain and small passages we highly recommend it.
Would like to do it again! |

My husband Marty and I wanted our Fall wedding to be a unique and fun filled experience for the wedding party and guest a like, so we choose to hold the ceremony at the Cave of the Winds on October 4th, and could not be happier with the outcome. The staff was incredible, the cave beautiful, and the memories of our fairytale day etched in everyone’s minds for years to come. Many thanks go out to the Cave of the Winds staff for making our wedding day so awesome! We could not have asked for more! |

My first to Cave of the Winds tour was in 1973 or 1974 with my parents,brother and sister, and my uncle and grandmother from North Carolina. We have a photo that is taken at the start of the tour,it's black and white! I'm sure today they're in color.In 1991 was my second trip with my then girlfriend, now my wife of 16 years. We enjoyed the caves and look forward to a future trip with our two children.I've also been to caves just outside St. Louis and in southern Missouri, but I'll say that Cave of the Winds are my favorite by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

This was our 1st time in a cave. It was very exciting. The cave was nice and cool when it was hot out side. I cannot think of a single favorite part of the cave, I liked all of it! Though the part when they turn off all the lights is fun.

My girlfriend and Mother visited the Cave of the Winds on Tuesday August 12th, 2008. It was one of the first things we did on our visit to Colorado.
It was very cool, literally. 54 degrees is what we were told was the temperature in the caves. There were some very interesting areas in the cave. I must say, my personal favorite was the point where we were all exposed to "Complete Darkness" for a few moments. You will never experience that kind of darkness ever again. It was very cool.
I would recommend that any family or couple taking a trip to the Colorado Springs area should visit the Cave of the Winds. Dollar for dollar, it's a pretty good value compared to some other tourist attractions.
I would go back!!! |

I visited Cave Of The Winds in 1978. I particularly liked the story of the electrician who knocked down a stalagtite and was killed. As the story goes he tried to reach up and break another. I saw a stalagmite that looked like an arm and hand. Also a place where people put hair ties and barrets....its been 30 years....I would love to go back. |

The people I work with are absolutely wonderful- they're all so spirited and fun! The cave is full of history and the Discovery Tour is a fantastic way to learn a bit about geology! I loved the cave when I was a little girl, and I love it now as a resident tour guide! |

...WOW... That's all I have to say... My mom was very interested in visiting a cave so this was mainly for her...I just came along not knowing what to expect. It frightened me at first knowing that we only had one "lighting tool" to use.... it turned out to be my most memorable experience in Colorado. The whole scenary was absolutely beautiful and out tour guide, Rich, was amazing... He made the whole tour a very fun and comforting experience.... Thank you so much... Hope to come and visit this place again... :D I definatelly recomend this to anyone who has never been to a cave or the mountains before! :D |
