Today, we’re heading to the west coast to visit Lava Beds National Monument in northeastern California near the Oregon border. We work through a Junior Ranger activity together and explore the natural beauty of the lava beds, the formation and geological history of the park, its Indigenous heritage, the diverse plants and animals that inhabit the area, the park's establishment as a national monument, and the numerous recreational opportunities it offers, especially the fascinating cave systems, and how we spent our day trip there.
Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature. The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids!
