📍 Explore Boyd Cave

Undeveloped lava tube near Bend — bring your own flashlight, no fee, real adventure feel.

Undeveloped lava tube in the Newberry volcanic system — about 1,800 feet you can walk through. No guide, no fee, no railings. Bring two flashlights per person; if your batteries die, you're in pitch black.

Good to know

  • Free, but rough access road (high clearance helps).
  • Bring sturdy shoes; floor is uneven volcanic rock.
  • Cave is 42°F year-round — wear layers.
