![]() ![]() ![]() The Wells Fargo stamped bags are still said to be somewhere in Colossal Cave, and the ghosts of the dead train robbers have been seen wandering around the caves looking for their lost loot. A few of the bandits were killed, while others were caught, but the money was never recovered. After being traced to the caves by authorities, a shootout ensued. A group of train robbers used the caves to hide after hitting a big score in the late 1800s. ![]() He’s often seen in restricted areas and vanishes into thin air before being seen by the staff. Frank was always smoking, and the smell of smoke fills the caves when he appears. He tends to accompany visitors to the caves to ensure that they don’t stray too far from the beaten path. The most encountered ghost is that of Frank Schmidt, one of the early developers of the cave. At least four ghosts live in the cave system. With no flowing water, the cave is no longer actively growing, but the ghosts and spirits in Colossal Cave are alive and kicking. The bones of human and animal remains litter the ground. The roofs of the cave are blackened from centuries of Native American bonfires and ceremonies. ![]() I would think that especially at the end of this pandemic that any attraction would be doing all they can to draw in customers and make sure they are treating them fairly and with respect.Just a few miles south of Tucson lies Colossal Cave, an often overlooked natural landmark with well over a thousand years of history. This was a extremely bad experience, I haven’t encountered anyone on our entire vacation that was as rude or intent on not accommodating customers as the people working today at colossal caves. Sadly this is our last day in tuscon and we decided to leave as it was clear the staff didn’t have any intent on serving us as customers. She said it would take too long to process and move up our tickets. The 10am tour left with 9 spots available and even as they were leaving we asked again if we could go and the lady at the cash register said no. The lady at the cash register told her no and that she wouldn’t do it. Another lady who was the tour guide asked if we could be added to the group and/or go on the 10:30 tour. We asked if we could be added to the group since 9 people hadn’t showed up and they said no. There were 9 empty spots out of twenty in the 10 am tour group. The tour at 10am was about to leave and they had said it was sold out. The lady at the cash register along with the gentleman were incredibly rude and acted like bullies toward us. He then told me that it wasn’t his choice to be in the Tuscon passport and he wished they were never in it. When I told them it wasn’t on their website, a gentleman who was in the office told me that there is way too much to put in their website and they couldn’t possibly do that. This is not stated on their website or the Tuscon passport site. They told us that we were supposed to purchase tickets online and then come in with the coupon and get a refund. We also tried to call and was told today that their phone have been down for three days. Yesterday we tried to order tickets online for the 10am cave tour, but there was no way to redeem our passport discount. We purchased the Tuscon passport for the local attractions. We are visiting from Maryland and had planned on visiting Colossal Caves. ![]()
