Address: 20359 Shasta Caverns Road, Lakehead, Ca. 96051
This experience is a first for us. Getting there is a little bit trickier because you have to drive through a narrow and winding road for at least 15-20 minutes. It will be a faster process if you reserve tickets online. The facility has a lot of parking spaces and a clean public restroom inside the gift shop. The boat dock is located in the lower area of the lake. After we get off from the other side of the mountain we walked uphill and rode a shuttle bus going up to the mountain. The shuttle took us towards the top of the mountain via a winding and narrow road. Try to sit on the left side of the shuttle if you have fear of heights.
The cave tour was self-guided during the time of our visit and we ended up finishing the tour within an hour. You can take pictures and bring a water bottle inside. You will see a few bats flying in certain areas and you have to go through a flight of stairs. It’s warm and not too dark inside and there were staff members available to answer your questions. Don’t forget to take a picture after exiting the cave as you will go through stairs going down to where you started. The view of Lake Shasta from the top is amazing and beautiful. There is a public restroom available near the bus stop or waiting area. Oh, don’t forget to take a picture with Yogi the bear in the museum area.
