The Lava River Cave is a massive lava tube deep within the Coconino National Forest. You can access and explore the cave on your own. Expect some scrambling over big boulders, some ducking in lower sections and cool temperatures within the cave. Bring at least two sources of light as it it pitch dark and you cannot find you way out of the tunnels without light. The tunnel has a length of almost a mile! The cave was discovered in 1915.
