When is a best time to see a bat?
At night... In a cave...?

The best time is at dusk just as the sun goes down. I don't suggest you enter a cave with bats in it as the smell of the guano can turn most peoples stomachs over. If you stand outside the cave you will see the bats fly off to hunt insects. They usually do this en-mass.

Bats are of the order chiroptera in the mammalian class of the animalia kingdom.
Yes. There is a large colony (100,000-250,000) of Mexican free-tailed bats that migrate to Colorado in the summer and live in an abandoned iron mine. This is the largest colony in Colorado. In the winter, they migrate to South America. I have included a link to the brochure about the bats. The outflight that takes place every evening is spectacular and I would recommend it highly. Other than that, I don't have any more specific details about bats in Colorado. I have seen bats during the summer in various places in Colorado, but only a few here & there - nothing like the large colony at the Orient Mine.
