Oregon Caves National Monument was something we saw on the road from Portland to Crater Lake and spontaneously decided to get out of the car and explore! While we thought it would only be a 20 minute detour, the guided tour of the caves took an hour and a half. But, seeing as Mike had never been in caves like these, we had to do it.

Venturing more than 200 feet underground was a pretty cool way to stretch our legs mid-drive and cool off on a hot summer day.
