Just south of the Oregon border near Mt. Shasta is Lava Beds National Monument. Come soak in the rich native history and cool air of this unique cave system for amateur and expert spelunkers alike.
Lava Beds National Monument is a land of turmoil, both geological and historical. Over the last half-million years, volcanic eruptions on the Medicine Lake shield volcano have created a rugged landscape dotted with diverse volcanic features. More than 800 caves, Native American rock art sites, historic battlefields and campsites, and a high desert wilderness experience await you!
