Being a little stiff from the hike the day before, we decided to hit something mild and laid back. It was raining out so the lava tube was a natural choice. What a cool place! Unfortunately there was a ton of people there so quite a few flashlights and it was a bit hard to get a sense of isolation as I had hoped, but it was the 4th of July weekend. I think if we ever want to take someone here we may go at night, to reduce traffic and increase isolation.

The beginning of the tube is a somewhat steep scramble down into the tube. After a short while however, it levels out and the rocks give way and get much better. For a good portion of the tube you can stand erect and walk comfortably.

Very neat!
