This spur trail is a short path leading to Boyd Cave, a vast lava tube resulting from the eruption around the Newberry Crater. It is a great spot to explore. The cave extends for a short distance to the right; however, it stretches for approximately half a mile to the left. If you plan to explore the cave, bring an extra layer of clothing and a headlamp for the best experience.

The short jaunt to Boyd Cave is worth your time - you can explore just the small chamber at the foot of the stairs, or bring headlamps and flashlights to check out the nearly 1880 feet of lava tube cave that stretches out from the access point.
