What we didn't count on was the road still being snowed over.
So we back tracked a bit and found a lava tube to explore. These are lava magma flows that go through an area and develop a hard top, however the river of magma continues to flow through the tube hardening a shell on the outside of the flow. .When the magma goes away you have a tube left. Most of them crumble over time, but a few have endured and they make very easy caving experiences
It's usually a very hike to get to the entrances.
. So down we go.
Photography is a cave is difficult. Lighting issues.
After the lava cave we went to another area that had a cinder cone. This is an area where the magma came up and then flowed over an area.
Years later you still have a wasteland looking area. However you will notice trees starting to grow among the lava.
