Oregon Caves National Monument & Preserve

Imagine stepping into a magical underground world! The Oregon Caves National Monument & Preserve offers exactly that. These are stunning ancient marble caves, formed over millions of years by water dissolving rock. It’s like walking through a giant, sparkling sculpture!

You can take guided tours through the caves, where friendly park rangers will point out incredible rock formations like stalactites (which hang from the ceiling) and stalagmites (which grow up from the floor). If you’re feeling extra brave and adventurous, there are even opportunities for spelunking – which means exploring undeveloped parts of the cave, sometimes crawling through tight spaces! Plus, above ground, the Preserve offers beautiful hiking trails where you can enjoy the fresh air and towering trees.

Visiting the Oregon Caves is a perfect way to add another layer of excitement and wonder to your trip to Southern Oregon, making your vacation truly unforgettable.
