When You Arrive at Oregon Caves

The bus parking area is part of the public parking area. For their safety, please keep your students on the bus until directed by a Park Ranger. A Park Ranger will come aboard the bus and give students, teachers, and parent chaperones a brief orientation.

When You Depart from Oregon Caves

The field trip does not include time for visiting the gift shop. If your school has allotted extra time after the ranger activities are completed, your students may visit the gift shop. There must be at least one adult accompanying each group of four children, with a maximum of 8 students at a time in the gift shop.

Did You Know?

Horse riders rode about 12 miles to Cave Camp located next to the entrance of Oregon Caves.

Up until 1922 the only way to get to Oregon Caves was on a 12 mile trail from the town of Williams, Oregon. Once at Oregon Caves visitors explored the cave and spent the night at a camp outside the entrance to the cave.
