Spring Cave, Natural cave in White River National Forest, Colorado.
Spring Cave contains extensive limestone formations and an underground waterway known as Thunder Road extending through multiple tunnels and passageways.
Archaeological findings near the cave entrance reveal ancient tools from Native American tribes who utilized this location for shelter and resource gathering.
The cave system serves as a research site for geologists and scientists studying mineral formations, climate patterns, and underground water systems.
Visitors need permits, proper spelunking equipment including helmets and headlamps, and should check weather conditions before attempting the 1.2-mile challenging trail.
The cave maintains a constant internal temperature throughout the year and houses one of the largest underground waterway networks in Colorado.
