Besides the natural beauty of the mountains, two of the most unique and popular geological attractions in the area are the famous Ice Cave and Black Canyon. Each attraction is less than five miles away from downtown Grace and are a must see sight for every visitor. The Ice Cave is located approximately 3 miles south of Grace just off the main highway.
Road signs point out the spot.
Thousands of years ago, a volcanic eruption formed a huge lava tube that eventually cooled to form this cave. Early settlers in the area found the cave a great place to store their food and collect ice all year around. It was a favorite picnic spot and recreation site. Visitors are taken completely by surprise when they first see the canyon. It appears almost from nowhere as an astonishingly deep, narrow gorge cutting straight through solid lava rock.
