I liked this place so much more than the visitor center up north. The visitor center gets massive crowds. This place, not so much. Looking at the lahar area I could imagine the blast of hot gas leveling the forest. Little trees have grown back but you can still get some feel of how big the blast was The hike at the end of the road has multiple water falls. Who can resist the blast of cool air from a water fall on a hot summer day? As for the Ape cave lava tube bring a jacket and very strong lantern. I could see nothing with my flash light. It is dark and cool down there.
Born to be free, God bless America!
