Crystal Cave is a marble karst cave within Sequoia National Park. It is one of at least 240 known caves in Sequoia National Park. The cave is a constant 48 degrees Fahrenheit. A half-mile loop trail leads through the cave, and there's also a steep half-mile walk to and from the cave parking area to the entrance. Because of fragile formations, the only way to visit the cave is on a guided tour. Tours are suitable for all ages. If you decide to see the cave, plan on spending about half a day traveling to the cave, walking to the entrance, and taking the 50-minute tour. Guided tours of Crystal Cave are offered from spring through fall. Buy tickets online at least 36 hours in advance, but we recommend you purchase two months in advance of your visit. Tickets are not available at the cave.
