9/19/26: The Oregon…read moreCaves National Monument was so cool today! (In both the literal and figurative senses....it was 44 degrees in there...) I bought tickets online (recreation.gov) about a month ago for the discovery tour. It was a straightforward drive to get to the Illinois Valley Visitor Center in Cave Junction (good place to stop for info, bathrooms, and to buy tickets if you haven't already - very helpful to be able to buy them BEFORE making the drive out to the cave itself). From there, it took a full hour to get on the sometimes narrow, often twisty (but very well-maintained and paved) road that led to the parking lot. We got there early and had time to walk to the main visitor center (about 1/8 mile from the parking lot) and see their well-designed interactive cave display. I checked in well before our tour time and they moved us up into an earlier tour spot - nice! We had time to eat lunch (brought with us) and change into long pants and warm jackets before meeting our tour guide. Ranger Ellie was awesome! Not only did she know about the cave's history and geology, she mixed in a ton of good humor with the information and gave us all time to look at the cave features we were passing while keeping us moving along. She was also great about telling us about how to navigate the cave's paths, stairs, and low-clearance areas safely. Though I'm 6'1" and had to duck a lot, Ranger Ellie prepared us so well throughout the tour that my head remained unscathed! The cave itself is truly awe-inspiring. Incredible formations throughout, pretty well-lit, and the pathways were all paved and well-marked. Every staircase felt sturdy, too, so even climbing stairs up into high places felt safe, even if the going was slow going up and down. (I'm glad I wore hiking boots.) It really was something to see amazing formations and an underground river traveling right through the mountain up close. It was cold in there (44 degrees, like a fridge!) so I'm glad I took my winter coat. The whole tour was about a mile, but seemed longer and had lots of steps. Even as a tall person, there were places for me to stand at my full height at all the tour stops. Once we were out, my friend and I walked the mile-ish loop around the top of the mountain at the cave's exit to take in the views - HIGHLY recommend doing this after. Tips: - Stop at the visitor center in Cave Junction for road info / bathroom break ahead of time - they'll tell you if walk-up tickets are sold out, too - plan on needing a full hour to get from Cave Junction to the parking lot - and drive SLOWLY - There's a 1/8 mile walk from the parking lot to where you check in for tours - get there at least an hour before your tour - It's COOL / COLD in the cave so dress accordingly! I've wanted to go here for years and it was SO much better than I was expecting. I look forward to coming back and trying the candlelight tours and some of their other hikes! Great job to the staff there who keep everything so clean, well-maintained, safe, and fun.

The Peyton Bridge aka Rogue River Bridge is located in Crater Lake National Park in Prospect,…read moreOregon, USA. The bridge is 1,683 foot long and 44 feet wide used to cross over the skinny portion of the Lost Creek Lake. The two towns in between are Mcleod and Prospect in Hwy 62 aka Crater Lake Hwy. Stewart State Park (west) and the Peyton Bridge Trailhead (east) are also notable marks. Cell phone doesnt work here so carry a real map as this forest/park is super lake with unpredictable weather. A few miles northeast is crater lake and the road leading up to this massive crater was closed. That means i traveled over 1k miles to be 10 miles from my destination (frustrating!!!). Per internet research the bridge was built in 1975. Since i didn't use CNN i;m sure it wasn't fake news/data.

It's a great place to stretch your legs, grab a photo with the state sign, and make a memory. Five stars!
