Cave Junction's main point of interest is the [[Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve]], which is a {{convert|4554|acre|ha|adj=on}} area of hiking trails and caverns.  Located at the end of a {{convert|20|mi|km|adj=on}} "stomach churning" drive along State Route 46, there are limestone caves discovered in 1874 by a hunter and his dog.  At the caves, there is a 23-room [[Oregon Caves Chateau|chateau]] that was built in 1932.<ref name="Seattle Times">{{cite news |url=http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=oregon29&date=20050527 |title=Take a rambling, scenic drive in Southern Oregon and Northern California |access-date=2007-09-27 |last=Pucci |first=Carol |date=2005-05-27 |newspaper=Seattle Times}}</ref>
