Cave Junction, OR

Discovering a place of wonder, exploration, and adventure.

Nestled into Oregon’s Siskiyou Mountains, a marble cave of fantastical formations, streams, and tiny insects contrasts with an above ground realm of towering cedars and rare plants. Exhibits in the historic visitor center of this National Monument beckon visitors to don a hard-hat and explore a re-created cave featuring insects and arachnids at hundreds of times their actual size. Families discover clicking salamanders, swooping bats, and a spotted owl as they learn about the geological and ecological history of this unique place.
