Oregon Caves National Monument

Thats not true, cave junction is a blast.

Grew up near it, went there on school trips. Can’t remember much now, but it’s worth going. But don’t expect fun in the nearby town, Cave Junction.

Oregon Caves is a marble cave that is nicely decorated for its size. It may be the only publically acessable traditional cave (versus lava cave) in Washington/Oregon – if not, it is the most prominent one. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable, and the volunteers are the best ( ;D ) Definetly worth a stop, as is the little burg of Cave Junction.

The Oregon Caves were not as large or fancy as other caves I’ve been in, but you do get to be much, much closer to everything. Its also more interactive with lots of stooping, ducking, climbing and descending (all stairs). You get a much better look at all the neato cave formations here than I’ve had at any other cave I’ve been in. The tour guide didn’t mind that I would lag behind to take pictures.

Also, at times the air-flow is nonexistent in this cave, so you may get a good sense of whether your fellow spelunkers have either halitosis or alcoholism.
