Sea Lion Caves

Our first roadtrip this summer was a week-long trip round western Oregon. It started off with quick trip down the I5 corridor to Grant's Pass. After that we crossed over the mountains, hitting the Oregon Caves and the giant redwood forest on the way to the coast. The rest of the trip was coming up the southern Oregon coast before crossing back after Lincoln City.

Day five of our Oregon Coast Vacation continues just north of Florence at Oregon's Sea Lion Caves - the largest indoor cave of sea lions in the world.


A quick picture at the statue near the entrance...


View of one of the lighthouses as we head down to the elevator.


Down in the cave you can't use a flash - so these are a little blurry...


Only about 1/3 of the herd are resting inside.


The view out a side cavern.


Bones of a sea lion on display.


This is where you stand to see them...


Another set of bones, not dug up.


The rest of the herd outside...
