Added by Michael Fricke
Awesome caving experience very close to the Lava Beds National Monument visitor center
Go to the Lava Beds National Monument Visitor Center. Pick up a caving permit. This cave is located on cave loop road which is a loop road with multiple caves past the visitor center. You will need a flashlight, good shoes or boots, and water. In this cave you will experience many interesting cave features including bacteria that makes the walls and ceilings look different colors, there is a section with cracks in the ceiling, and very cool looking passages. If you have never been caving and seen the geology of the underworld it is a great experience.
