Subway Cave
Subway Cave is expected to open about late April each year after the snow melt.
Explore the underground world of a lava tube. The self-guided trail is approximately 1/3 mile long and the cave is completely dark, so don't forget to bring a flashlight.
The floor is rough and jagged so wear sturdy shoes. A light jacket will ward off the chill as the cave remains a cool 46 degrees F. Neither hardhats nor crawling is required!
Pets are not allowed.
For more information about the geology of the Hat Creek Valley, explore the Old Station Visitor Information Center, Spatter Cones Trail and Hat Creek Rim Overlook. These sites are all located within a few miles of Subway Cave
