This place is so cool! Literally 😂 The ice cave is an easy hike, but the stairs back up can be a little tiresome. So SO worth it! The volcano is pretty neat! It’s an easy hike, however some of the gravel is loose and can make it a bit tiresome as well. Some of the best views you’ll ever see!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is there is a new connection between the Volcano and the Ice Cave. If you do the volcano first, take the shortcut. It’s mostly downhill and while loose, not too bad. Do not, I repeat, do NOT take the shortcut if you do the ice cave first. The loose gravel makes the uphill hike a very unpleasant experience. Especially if your thighs are already on fire from the 72 steep steps back out of the cave.
The gift shop guys are super nice and very informative! Definitely take a peek at the museum inside!
Very cool place to visit. A lot of walking, but it was worth it. Wonderful gift shop, full of artifacts and antiques and lots of nice souvenirs. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Very interesting place. Take the pamphlet and hike the trail to the volcano caldera first, then to the ice cave. The stops are numbered in that order. And you can cool off at the cave after the 1-1/2 mile hike. Many neat things to see along the way.
Amazing little out of the way stop to see!
We were on a roadtrip and saw a small sign talking about ice caves, so we followed and found a cute little campground. You have to pay to see the ice caves but it's not too expensive. It's a little hike down to the ice cave but it's an experience you should have. It was like 95 degrees at the top and once down in the cave about 35 degrees. It was refreshing and truly interesting. Go stop and see this place as it will be a memory you won't forget.
My sister-in-law and I took a side trip to visit on our way to California in March of 2019. It was well worth the detour. There was still a litte snow on the ground which this Floridian enjoyed. The cave was definitely a sight to behold.
