It offers breathtaking views of the park and is a calm and tranquil area for our visitors to enjoy the natural scenery and landscape. “The cave’s entrance is the focal point of Colossal Cave Mountain Park. Additionally, the cave’s entrance received new patio furniture, an outdoor kitchen and restaurant, remodeling touch-ups, and more. The park opened a new gift shop, which is nearly triple the size of the previous shop, and features Colossal Cave T-shirts, memorabilia, stuffed animals, and souvenir items. Since the shift in ownership, several renovations to the cave’s entrance have been completed. The renovation process began in August when Ortega National Parks took ownership of Colossal Cave Mountain Park. Our goal with the renovations is to keep the original and natural splendor of the park, while creating an overall enjoyable experience for our guests.”

“Colossal Cave Mountain Park has a rich history and showcases the beauty of southern Arizona. “We are very excited to re-introduce Colossal Cave Mountain Park to the Vail community and travelers to the area,” said Brian Held, general manager of Colossal Cave Mountain Park. Colossal Cave Mountain Park, located approximately 15 minutes southeast of Tucson in Vail, Ariz., has officially reopened to the public after completing its first phase of renovations.
