Cascadia Cave submitted by LongWayHome : Bear claws (thoughtlessly "highlighted" by modern "researchers") (Vote or comment on this photo)
The walls of the cave - which is mostly a large overhang - have numerous petroglyphs. Judging by the condition of the trail, the cave does not appear to be viewed much these days, however in the past it has seen many visitors. Sadly, as a result of numerous people taking rubbings, many of the petroglyphs have been damaged and are now difficult to discern. Additionally, some of the petroglyphs have been highlighted with red paint by modern "researchers". The cave is located near a river, and at one time was a popular salmon fishing location for native peoples, as well as bears. This may explain the "bear" type petroglyphs - bear claws and scratches.

The site has been studied by archeologists from local universities (University of Oregon and Portland State University). These studies carbon date human activity up to 8000 years ago.

Cascadia Cave is located on the edge of a 145,000 acre parcel of land owned by the billionaire Hill family of Minnesota, whose original fortune was obtained from railroads. It is managed for timber production by Cascade Timber Consultants, from who permission should be obtained to visit. Access is via an approximately 1 mile trail that parallels the South Santiam River, from a trailhead located in Cascadia State Park. The majority of the trail is on public land.
