Who discovered the Ice Cave?
We have recovered and preserved a fantastic collection of ancient artifacts which are on display in our Trading Post which indicate that the first people to discover and interact with the Ice Cave were the late era Anasazi and the early period Pueblo peoples. The first European peoples to have experience the Ice Cave were likely the early Spanish Conquistadors who traveled passed here quite frequently. It is very likely that Conquistador Coronado himself visited the Ice Cave. Of course, no visit to New Mexico is complete without experiencing the Land of Fire and Ice.
