Bicycling Information

If you plan on riding your bicycle up to Oregon Caves, please be aware that the last 10 miles are all uphill and that the roads can be narrow.  There is no bike lane. Be sure to wear bright clothing and be aware of other traffic on the road. Traffic increases on weekends and during the summer.

You can only ride your bicycle on paved roads and in parking areas on the monument. There are no trails on the monument accessible to bicycles. However, you could connect to US Forest Service roads by way of Hwy 46. Please contact the Forest Service for more information.

This snail was named after an employee of Oregon Cave, not because he was slow but because he wrote the technical description of the snail.  

Did You Know?
There is a snail that lives on the marble rock outcrops of Oregon Caves that has adapted to use the calcium from the rock to make its shell.
