Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park features one of the largest known limestone caverns in the Northwest. Access to the cave is by guided tours only, May  through September.

Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park also features camping and trails to hike or bike, a state-of-the-art visitor center, interpretive displays, a gift shop, food and beverage concessions, amphitheater, and interpretive events presented during the summer months.

The park has a large campground with 40 campsites, a tipi, and three cabins, which you can reserve online, and a group camping area, which you must contact the park to reserve. There is a $5 charge to use the dump station.

The site encompasses 3,015 acres. The entry area is at an elevation of 4,300 feet and the caverns area is at an elevation of 5,300 feet.

See the colorful limestone formations by the festive glow of candlelight. For safety reasons, the upper half of the Caverns is shown with the electric lights on. The lower half of the cave is by candlelight. Candle lanterns are provided by the park. Parents need to use their own judgment if children will be comfortable in the darkness of the cave and in the outside cold temperatures.
1¼ miles of the tour is outside and may require walking to and from the cave through snowy conditions. Dress for walking in snow, wind and cold. Coffee and hot chocolate will be available at the visitor center before and after the tours.
