Colossal Cave Mountain Park

We visited the Colossal Cave Mountain Park outside Tucson, Arizona. We took the cave tour and also visited the La Posta Quemada Ranch. The cave tour was interesting. The cave is huge but is not a living cave. There is a lot of damage from visitors. This cave gets thousands of visitors each year. In the past, the cave was used by Indians and outlaws. It was also used for a Walt Disney film. Also in the park we were able to visit La Posta Quemada Ranch which was a working ranch for 128 years. They have a riding stable and you can take a riding trip if you want. It also has a small museum and information about the Conservation Core workers who worked on the Colossal Cave. Besides the ranch, there is a telephone booth that the railroads used years ago. If you want, you can also use the sluice to try and find gemstones.
