Oregon Caves National Monument

Domed, dripping rock structures line the wall of a cave. Caption: but only one that is a marble cave.

Nestled deep inside the Siskiyou Mountains, the caves formed as rainwater from the ancient forest above dissolved the surrounding marble and created one of the world's few marble caves. The highly complex geology found on the Monument contributes to the unusual and rare plants and animals found nowhere else but here. The cave geology is combined with the diversity of plants and animals to tell a unique story of the Pacific Northwest.
