Entrance to Charlie Cave (also known as Charlie the Cave) along China Hat Road southeast of Bend, Oregon. The cave is part of the Arnold lava tube system. As you can see, it is predominantly breakdown however in the 1970s a blowing hole was excavated revealing a lower level that extended 1, 200 feet. The cave's total length is 2, 400 feet. Gates have been installed at both this main entrance further in as well as the blowhole in the fall of 2005 opening making them permanently off access for bat protection. The blowhole entrance does emit a nice icy cold breeze which is a great place to sit from the outside heat.
