Can you see the cave tour guide and the tourists in the photo?

This is my favorite part of being a tour guide at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park: Bringing people out to a cliff 1300 ft. above the Colorado river.

People never expect to end up on a precipice, let alone so high up the canyon walls.

When I follow the group out onto the platform, I say, “Thank you all for coming on the tour, today. We will be issuing parachutes so you can go home now.” (Nervous laughter.)

The original platform was built around 1898 by Charles W. Darrow, brother of Clarence Darrow, the famous lawyer and Scopes Monkey Trial lawyer.

The original platform had no guardrail.

Instead of calling it “Exclamation Point”, I would have called it “Perspiration Point.”
