A majority of Colorado is covered in purple mountain Majesties but have you ever wondered what those mountains look like from the inside? There is no need to try to dig a giant hole in the ground to see, but rather take a fascinating tour of the Cave of the Winds:

Located in Manitou Springs, the Cave of the Winds is a millions-year-old cave that was opened to the public in 1881 (but then closed from 1907-1980) and now offers a series of fascinating tours every day.

Do you prefer something a bit spookier? Then the Haunted Lantern Tour may be the perfect option for you, as it takes place in near pitch blackness and includes the stories of the cave's many alleged hauntings.
