Great news, Colorado: Do you remember a few weeks ago when we mentioned that an elaborate ice castle was coming to Colorado? It is officially open and even more amazing than we could have imagined! However, the cold and glittering fun doesn’t end at Dillon’s ice castle, but extends to these equally unbelievable Colorado ice caves!

Located within Rifle Falls State Park is that of the stunning Rifle Ice Caves, which begin to form in December and continue to change until February due to a freeze-and-thaw process. Made up of 4 different caves (the Stone Tree, Ice Palace, Soul On Ice, and The Final Curtain), the Rifle Ice Caves come back year-after-year and are a must-see for hikers, photographers, and/or nature enthusiasts.
