This is the campsite, surrounded by surface of the moon!  This place is fantastic, even the walkways (to protect the lava formations) have little animal paw prints embossed in the surfaces.  Neat!

Formation that we walked to from the campsite, about 30 feet high

This is one of the cones we climbed - can you see the camper waaaayy down in the parking lot.  The entire mountain is cinders and it makes an interesting and loud crunch with every step.  Then we hiked up to the edge of this caldera - very impressive.


This trail led to caves and tube formations.  The entire area reminded me of the clinkers we used to find in the old coal furnace in our house on 39th avenue in Vernon.  (Okay, that was a looong time ago.)
