About this park: 
Deep within the Siskiyou Mountains are dark, twisting passages that await your discovery.  Eons of acidic water seeping into marble rock created and decorated the wondrous “Marble Halls of Oregon.”

Why did they choose these colors?
They used the first two photos shown on the park's NPS home page, under “Cave Tours,” as the inspiration for our colorway.
