Colossal Cave Mountain Park





We went to this beautiful 2,400 acre desert park today on the Old Spanish Trail. I took the tour of the crystal filled Cave, climbing up and down, around rocks, past stalagmites and strange formations, into several 'rooms' and past fault lines. There were many different formations and some small spaces to squeeze through. This is considered by some as the world's largest 'dry cavern'.
The Hohokam Indians sheltered here and in the 1853, outlaws hid out after robbing the Southern Pacific Railway of $62,000 of gold. Didn't see any.
