Cave Tours Resume at Oregon Caves Memorial Day Weekend

Adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts, rejoice! Oregon Caves National Monument & Preserve is set to reopen its captivating cave tours starting Memorial Day weekend, offering visitors a chance to delve into the subterranean wonders of the Siskiyou Mountains.

Guided Cave Tours Return

Beginning Memorial Day weekend, guided cave tours will be available on weekends. Tours commence at 10:00 AM, with the last tour departing at 4:00 PM. Each tour provides an immersive experience through the cave's winding passages and ancient formations.

Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through Recreation.gov. For same-day tickets, it's advisable to stop at the Illinois Valley Visitor Center in Cave Junction before making the 45-minute drive to the park, as tours often sell out during busy periods.
