We took our truck out to Boyd Cave and went underground for about an hour exploring this lava tube. The tube goes much farther than we were willing to hike today. It’s free and not that far outside of Bend.
The entrance is pretty unassuming. Some cowboy must have been riding along and fallen into it to find this cave.

Looking back on the entrance to the cave. Once you get a little farther back into the cave and around the corner, it becomes pitch black.
From deeper in the cave. We kept going for about a half hour before we turned around and came back. This is a really long cave!
