*Please Note

If you use GPS or get directions not provided by NPS you will be given directions to Oregon Caves that is the shortest distant--by use of Forest Service roads from Williams, Oregon. This route is NOT recommended. The road at times is one-lane, not paved, and sometimes not clearly marked. You will need a vehicle with 4-wheel drive. Although this route is shorter, it will take you longer to reach Oregon Caves. 

Oregon Caves National Monument is located at:

19000 Caves Hwy, Cave Junction, OR 97523

Oregon Caves Lodge, the Oregon Caves Chateau is located at:

20000 Caves Hwy, Cave Junction, OR 97523

 

Acid dew dissolves the cave wall to make small pock marks.  

Did You Know?
Carbon dioxide mixes with water that condenses on the wall of the cave to create a very weak acid. Over long periods of time this "acid dew" eats away at the marble walls of Oregon Caves making the cave larger.
