El Malpais National Monument » Cave Access & Permitting Strategy (CE) » Document List
The monument's lava tube caves are a significant and sensitive resource, and traditionally one of the monument's main recreational attractions. The National Park Service seeks to balance the protection of these natural and cultural resources with the public's desire to experience and explore them. This planning process is a way to address these goals through engagement and communication with users and stakeholders.
