Owl Cave

Owl Cave is an archaeological site located in southeastern Idaho and was identified in 1978. This site dates all the way back to 9,500 - 8,500 B.P., and is one out of three caves that resulted from a collapsing lava tube on the eastern Snake River Plain. The other two caves within the same area of Owl Cave are Coyote Cave and Dry Cat Cave. Owl Cave is the only cave that has been prominently excavated. A rich history of past environmental life can be traced back to this site's perimeters, where bison hunting and mammoth activity took place.
