Mud Caves, Show cave system in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, United States.
The Mud Caves consist of 22 distinct caves formed through silt deposits, with passages extending up to 1,000 feet and reaching heights of 80 feet.
The cave formations emerged from ancient lake bed sediments that underwent continuous erosion by water and wind, creating deep passages through geological processes.
These caves attract geological researchers and outdoor enthusiasts who document and explore various named passages, including Chasm Cave and Plunge Pool Cave.
Visitors require helmets, headlamps, and high-clearance vehicles to access the caves, which are located 25 miles north of Interstate 8 in California.
The cave system features natural skylights and round chambers, with some passages containing caverns large enough for group exploration.
