Item Description
Take the family on an exciting adventure in California Cavern! This family pass is good for two adults and up to three children.
Walking Tours
The Trail of Lights walking tour is suitable for the whole family and is only available during our dry season. In our wet season, the Trail of Lakes tour is available instead. The Trail of lights is approximately 60 - 80 minutes long, and meanders over nearly level, well lighted passages and walkways. Experienced, professional guides lead groups into the recently discovered "Jungle Room," named for the array of crystalline "vines" covering the ceiling, many of them several feet long. Groups learn about the rich history of the cavern and the surrounding countryside, and cavern formation and geology.
About California Cavern
In 1849 or 1850, Captain Joseph Taylor was target practicing on a rocky outcropping and noticed that his targets were being moved by a breeze which seemed to emanate from the rocks. When he investigated this curious phenomenon, he discovered the entrance to a cave which he named Mammoth Cave.
In 1850, Captain Taylor opened the cave for public tours, making it the first show cave in the state of California. Click on the interactive map at left to see the original walk tour trail, in comparison with the current, longer walk tour trail which was established in 1980, after the cave was renamed California Cavern.
California Cavern is located in Mountain Ranch and is about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento.
