Oregon Caves is small in size but rich in diversity. That richness can be found both underground amidst narrow, winding passageways and above ground, where old growth forests harbor a fantastic array of animals and plants found nowhere else. This is a land rich in conifers, wildflowers, birds, and amphibians.

An active marble cave and underground stream reveal the inside of one of the world's most diverse geological realms. This richness provides educational opportunities which can be found in the curriculum programs.
