Boyden Cave

Boyden Cave features a complex network of marble passageways with numerous stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, pendants, and shield formations throughout its chambers.

The cave system was discovered in the early 1900s and later developed into a public attraction within the Sequoia National Forest management jurisdiction.

The cavern tours incorporate geological education, explaining the formation processes of various mineral deposits and the natural forces that shaped the underground landscape.

Tours operate daily from 10 AM to 5 PM between spring and fall, with visitors needing to wear sturdy shoes and bring jackets for the 55-degree temperature.

The cave entrance sits beneath 2,000-foot marble walls called Kings Gates, requiring visitors to climb a steep trail for access to the underground chambers.
