Fulford Cave, at an elevation of 9,880 feet, was designated the 8th largest cave in Colorado in 1972. As of 1959, a total distance of 2,600 feet has been mapped. This popular cave has a great variety of features to discover and explore. There are gaping crevices, vast spaces, pillars, stalactites, stalagmites and narrow gorges.
The passages range greatly in size; the Breakdown room has a total length of 300 feet and part of the Register room is over 60 feet high. A turbulent stream passes through a 300 foot length of the cave that was found to emerge at a surface spring in the campground. The main entrance at the end of the trailhead is a small downward-sloping culvert.
Please sign the register next to the bulletin board before and after hiking the trail leading to the cave.
