Adventure! Advice needed

Good Morning!!! We took our youth to Craters of the Moon and the normally too cool teen LOVED the caves and asked if we could go on more outdoor adventures like that.

So, dear collective knowledge, do we know of any places within a few hours drive of Bose that we can explore caves without gear?

Thank you!

Ice Caves are about 2 hours away but a beautiful drive through Idaho. Adults $15 kids $10 and need to book ahead of time.

But worth it!

There's also a huge museum to walk through after the caves that's pretty cool.

Watch out for Poison Ivy, especially early in the season. Absolutely abundant atm.

If you go here, Leslie Gulch/Succor Creek are close by and they're pretty sweet too.

Is this safe to go today? I remember a long time ago it was sketchy entrance, and used needles inside the cave.
