Lava Beds National Monument
Over a million years of eruptions formed the rugged landscape of this Northern California park.
There's no other park like this one. With more than 700 caves and a handful of craters, this is easily a natural wonder! There are amazing lava tube caves like the glowing gold walls of the Golden Dome to see. There's also the dangling icicles of the Skull Cave. But that's just the beginning.
It's like the National Park Service was kind enough to offer up a whole crash course in Geology 101. There are textbook examples of all kinds of earth treasures here. You'll come across creations like cinder cones, pit craters, volcanic fields. and more.

Indian Wells is the only campground at Lava Beds, right next to the visitor’s center and the caves, so it’s easy to spend the day exploring the park and Read more...
