With my fractured radius I wasn't able to do any caving, but I did walk the Cave Trail to check out the caves and watch others have fun.

Craters of the Moon Nat. Mon. Entrance into the cave is easy and flashlights are not needed.

Explored the Lava Tube caves with Mr. Wendy... Lots of fun, and because we did it backwards of the big tour group, we had the caves nearly to ourselves. Although I think that Flagstaff's Lava River Cave is more impressive, these caves had some unique features that made them fun.

Not sure about the exact time, but it was a fun trip. I did all 4 of the caves you can visit on this hike. The best is Boyscout cave, which is the close to real caving a non-caver can get. Pretty neat area and monument.

Hiked to Indian Tunnel cave, went down and explored both dead-end appendix to the right side from the stairs (it was dark and covered with ice) and the wide passage to the left from the stairs (it was lighted and inhabited by doves). Went out through the hole on the south end of the cave and got back to the parking lot having decided not to go into two other caves.

Long pants and knee pads are a plus for this interesting adventure. Don't forget your flashlight(s).
