Less known lava tubes with icicles frozen like a waterfall (depending on the time of year you go). It still has some ice in it during summer months. The Native Americans used this to supply settlements along the Columbia River (as well as to store their berries).
This is COLDER than the Ape Cave -- even during summer.

My personal favorite spot to cool down during triple-digit summer days -- so named because of the opalescence of the emerald waters. Be warned, as inviting as it is, the water is fresh snow/ ice melt so will ALWAYS be cold!
