A view inside Sugar Pine Butte Ice Cave near McCloud, California, most likely formed from an ancient eruption of Mt. Shasta.

The walls are golden in appearance due to bacteria hit with water droplets. There was a few ice stalagmites inside closer to the entrance w/ probably more during the spring season. These caves have been known as ice caves since before 1935.
