About this guide

visitcavejunction.com is an independent visitor guide to Cave Junction and the Illinois Valley. It is made by Anabasis Intelligence.

It is not the City of Cave Junction, whose official site is cavejunctionoregon.us. It is not the Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce, and it is not CaveJunction.com.

How we check facts

Every fact on this site is checked against a source, and each check is dated. We prefer primary sources: the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the county, state agencies, the local paper, and each business's own website or page. We only list a place when a source from 2025 or 2026 shows it is open. Hours, seasons, and roads change, so each page points you to the official source to confirm before you go.

If something is wrong or out of date, email hello@anabasisintelligence.com. Tell us the page, what needs fixing, and where you saw the right information.

The map

The 3D map is the US Geological Survey's topographic map laid over the real shape of the land, so the ridges and river canyons stand up the way they do on the ground. Photos come from Wikimedia Commons, and each one is credited to its photographer.

The voice guide

You can talk to the guide out loud and ask it questions about the valley. It's drawn as a mule in Napoleon's hat, for reasons explained on the Kerby page. It knows only what is written on this site, so for anything beyond that, check the official source linked on each page.
