Exploring caves at the Lava Beds National Monument

Peak Northwest

Ever wanted to explore a cave? Lava Beds is the place to be.

On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, our colleague Janet Eastman tells us about her experience exploring the caves at Lava Beds National Monument, found just across the border in northern California.

Featuring more than a dozen caves of various complexity, Lava Beds is a great place to either dip your toes into cave exploration or do some serious spelunking.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• What kind of gear do you need to go caving?
• Janet talks about her experience in the caves.
• It’s easy to opt out of more difficult excursions if you’d prefer to take it easy.
• There are a lot of other things to do and see at Lava Beds, outside of the cave systems.
