Why is there a fee to enter Colossal Cave Mountain Park?
About 10 years ago our little 495-acre Park, with its beautiful dry cave and mesquite-shaded picnic areas, expanded to over 2,000 acres, taking in La Posta Quemada Ranch immediately to the south of the Cave. We are now offering a great many more amenities than in the past museum and reference library, gardens, enhanced picnicking, hiking, and birding, and special events. All this puts a much greater call on the Park s resources. Colossal Cave Mountain Park is not funded by taxpayer money. Our revenue for capital improvements, maintenance, and security is through Cave admissions, special events and now, Park entry fees.
