CRIPPLE CREEK — As spring slowly creeps in, many of Colorado's great winter traditions are wrapping up.
One of which is the Cripple Creek Ice Castles!
Saturday, March 8, will be the last day for people to see the Ice Castles in Cripple Creek.
If you haven't already visited, the Ice Castles are a yearly winter event, where visitors can explore icy caverns, crawl through icy tunnels, and beautiful towers of ice that light up at night.
Over the 11 weeks that the Ice Castles have been open, thousands of people have gathered to observe the "icy fortress."

“I am incredibly proud of our crew and their determination to build a spectacular castle. Their passion and innovation have truly transformed the guest experience into something extraordinary."
