Let her Blow..

Well not now, but it did at one time. What am I talkin' about? Well I'm talking about the Sunset Volcano. According to the local Indians it blew its top in 1180 ad. The effects can be seen all around the Sunset Volcano park. The below pictures is a huge lava flow that solidified over 400 years ago.



This is me after we hiked about 1/2 mile straight up a mountain to get in front of the volcano. The entire area is covered in black rocks, rocks that came from inside the earth itself.

The below photo I took while we took a break and had lunch. Notice that 1/2 of the volcano is covered in black rock?
