Although Boyd Cave is not a show cave, it is somewhat developed. Gravel Forest Service Road 18-242 leads to the entrance, which is just a hole in the ground with a rusty fence. There is a parking loop and a staircase leading down into the cave.
The main tunnel starts to the left, the cave is about 800m long with a mostly flat floor. There are some narrow and low parts, sometimes there are fallen rocks on the floor. At the end the tunnel becomes a very low crawl.
The cave is open all year, so it is a fine tour for a poor weather winter day. It may be visited on your own, but it is also possible to take a guided tour with Wanderlust Tours. They provide helmets, headlamps and gloves, sturdy boots and warm clothes are also a good idea.
