Indian Tunnel is the larges lava tube along the Craters of the Moon Cave Trail. In is entered on a staircase through one of numerous roof collapses. Because of the high amount of openings, most of the cave is bright enough to visit even without a lamp. Nevertheless we recommend enough light sources for the cave visits, two per person at least, if you are a party, three if you are alone. The tunnel is of impressive size and very easy. The exit on the other end requires a little climbing across a rock pile and through a narrow opening, but it is also possible to turn around.
