Boy Scout Cave, on of the caves along the Craters of the Moon Cave Trail contains ice all year round, the floor is covered by ice and often water too. The entrance through a collapse doline is right in the middle of the tube. The western branch contains the ice and is a little bigger in size. The eastern branch is often low and narrow, and requires some easy climbing and stooping until you reach the Back Door, formed by a huge roof collapse. This cave requires warm clothes (which may get dirty), sturdy and warm shoes, and enough light. A hard hat is a good idea.

Here is a good series of pictures of the cave.
