Collapsed lava tubes in the basalt flow near Fillmore, filed on RopeWiki under caving rather than canyoneering. One to two hours of scrambling in and out of them.

Road Trip Ryan lists standard hiking gear and a high clearance approach, which is the whole logistical story: no rope work, no shuttle, no season. Bring a headlamp and a spare, because a lava tube goes fully dark within a few body lengths and the footing is broken basalt. Neither RopeWiki nor Road Trip Ryan names a land manager or states a permit rule for the site, so treat access as an open question rather than a settled yes.
