Ice Caves in Colorado: A must visit winter gem

The second I heard about these Ice Caves in Colorado I knew we just HAD to see them, I had no idea that they existed outside of super cold places like Alaska so it really took me for surprise!

After first going to the wrong park and wandering aimlessly (whoops), we finally found ourselves at Rifle Mountain Park and inside the most incredible ice caves. The experience was pretty indescribable – shimmying our way through a small crack to get inside, 20 foot icicles hanging from cave walls, turquoise waterfalls frozen in time… it was magical! I truly felt like I was living all of my Elsa ice-princess dreams.

While Rifle Mountain Park is most known for rock climbing in the summers, these Ice Caves make the trek to Rifle in the winter more than worth it.

Entrance fee is only $5

Best time to visit: December to February

Make sure to wear the right clothes and shoes, this place is very cold and slippery, be extremely careful when walking inside the caves.

I hope this post was helpful and that you can enjoy of this beautiful place this upcoming winter!
