Fascinating, riddled with lava tubes
Posted by Michael Everett on August 19, 2008
Lava beds national monument is fascinating. lava beds is riddled with lava tubes. when it's 90 degrees you still need a jacket for walking in the lava tubes. some of them actually have year-round ice. one of them has a fern garden growing beneath a hole in the tube's ceiling. the walls inside are lined with pictographs. the whole thing has a feel of remoteness.
