Lava Butte Cinder Cone, seen from the trail. I'm very happy that the folks did this: One third of the trail is a newly reconstructed section that is Universally Accessible, and the rangers did a super job on the recent trail construction.
Leland's walking beside the lava flow, not too far around the curve to the left--the curve in the trail shown in the first photo. Although I took this photo as we were headed back to the start of the trail, I put it here so that you could get the idea of just how tall that lava flow stands. Leland is right at 6 feet tall.
The single tree stands atop the lava flow.
This look like the Moon surface to me, but I guess they have no trees up there... Great natural colors, striking images!
ReplyDeleteFor being universally accessible, the trail looks very unobtrusive.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Park Service.
Lava flows certainly make for interesting landscapes.
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots. I would love to see this.
