The Oregon Caves National Monument will be 100 years old in 2009. Nestled high in the forested splendor of the Siskiyou Mountains, generations of visitors have enjoyed the unique assets and breath taking geological wonders. The Monument offers, one of a kind, family focused opportunities to explore marble caves, stay overnight and enjoy casual and gourmet meals at a National Historic Landmark, the Oregon Caves Chateau, and hike trails through ancient forests.
The Majestic Beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the rustic period of Great Lodge construction come together at the Chateau at the Oregon Caves National Monument.
The Friends of the Oregon Caves and Chateau, was formed in 2008 in cooperation with the National Park Service to preserve, protect and improve the cultural and natural resources of the monument.
The first project is to restore the Oregon Caves Chateau, one of the three Great Lodges of Oregon. Timberline, Crater Lake and the Chateau are the only three publicly owned, historic lodges of Oregon, that provide overnight accommodations. Visit greatlodgesoforegon.com for more info.
Designed to be constructed in a marble canyon, this 23 room lodge retains its original charm and houses an historic collection of Monterey Furniture. Built in 1934, the lodge will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2009.
