Farmington, New Mexico: Kokopelli Cave - Sleep in a Cave

The man-made cave was originally "blasted out" to be an office for a local geologist. When he found out it would be too difficult for his clients to get to, it sat empty and unfinished for almost a decade. It became a hangout for area teenagers who called it the "Steel Doors," referring to the doors that were installed at the beginning of the trail down to the cave and at the entrance. Later it was completed to be lodging for his son. Father and son did all the work and the appliances and furniture had to be hoisted over the side. It now is operated as a B&B in the Farmington area. It is truly a memorable experience to be perched on the side of a cliff in a cave but with all the amenities of home. Including a waterfall shower and jacuzzi!
