Free parking. 🎫 Admission: Free (part of Coconino National Forest – open to the public) A truly unique geological wonder! 📸 Exploration & Photo Tips Hiking Route From the parking lot to the cave entrance: ~0.3 miles (flat sandy path, easy 10-min walk). Note: Entering the cave requires descending a short steep slope – wear grippy shoes! 👟 Cave Adventure The tunnel is ~0.25 miles long – pitch dark inside! Must bring a flashlight/headlamp (phone light isn’t enough 🔦). The ground is uneven solidified lava – watch your step. Photo spots: The "skylight" in the middle (dreamy sunlight beams!) and lava waterfall textures at the end. ⚠️ Important Tips Safety first: Go with others – no signal inside. Avoid solo trips. Protect nature: Do not carve on rocks or take lava (it’s cursed! 😱). Best time: 10 AM - 3 PM (best light through the skylight). 🌟 Nearby Attractions Stop by Slide Rock State Park on your way back (natural water slide – super fun!💦). Or try Flagstaff’s famous Diablo Burger – highly recommended by locals! 🍔 📌 In a nutshell: Subway Cave is a hidden gem for adventurers and photographers – a must-see near Sedona! #ArizonaTravel #LavaCave #HiddenGems #WestCoastRoadTrip 🌵🧭🔥
