A Day at Lava Beds National Monument


We are fortunate to have the 46,000 acre Lava Beds National Monument adjacent to Tulelake NWR. It is a mere eight miles south to the entrance.

Lava Beds offers outstanding volcanic terrain including more than 450 lava tube caves, the greatest concentration in North America.

Short Hike to the Splatter Cone

Hepner Ice Cave
There are approximately two dozen lava tube caves developed for public use. They range in ability level from walking upright on smooth surface to crawling on your hands and knees. The caves range in length from 120 feet to over a mile long. All caves are self guided. The monument loans lanterns free of charge. Due to our close proximity to the National Monument we are able to attend their evening camp fire programs.
