Oregon Caves National Monument Custom Search Oregon Caves National Monument is small in size, 480 acres, but rich in diversity. Above ground, the monument encompasses a remnant old-growth coniferous forest. It harbors a fantastic array of plants, and a Douglas-fir tree with the widest known girth in Oregon. Three hiking trails access this forest. Below ground is an active marble cave created by natural forces over hundreds of thousands of years in one of the world's most diverse geologic realms.     CONTACTS Email - roger_brandt@nps.gov Fax- 541-592-3981 Write to 19000 Caves Highway Cave Junction, OR 97523 Phone Visitor Information - 541 592-2100 Headquarters - 541 592-2100 TRAVEL BASICS Operating Hours, Seasons The Monument is open all year for hiking, snow shoeing and other similar outdoor activities.
