A cave within Lava Beds National Monument located in secs. 28 & 33, T45N, R4E, MDM.
Catacombs Cave (6,903 ft/2,104 m) is a very long cave and is easily entered, but gradually increases in difficulty. It is possible to walk upright for approximately 800 ft (244 m) to the stairway, after which the ceiling rarely exceeds 3 ft (0.9 m). A few places exist where the ceiling height is less then 12 inches (30 cm). A cave map is highly recommended for any group planning to explore the entire length, as multiple levels and numerous side passages can be confusing.
