Oregon Caves National Monument
What NOT to Bring for the Tour
  • Flashlights. The cave is lit and rangers carry flashlights.

 

  • Backpacks, large purses and tripods. These are not permitted in the cave due to low ceilings and narrow passageways. Leave them in your car or check them in at the visitor center.

 

  • Your pet. If you can, leave your pets at home. If you are traveling with your pet, bear in mind that the shade will move while you are inside the cave, and shade is limited.
 
From the vista on the Cliff Nature trail you can see the nation's largest serpentine rock outcrops in the distance.  

Did You Know?
The mountains surrounding Oregon Caves are composed of ocean crust including rocks uplifted directly from the mantle. These mantle rocks make up one of the largest serpentine rock outcrops in the nation.
