We used to go there a lot when we were kids with our Scout troop. We camped many times in a huge cave that had a really long lava tube that took off from inside of it...and a couple months after we'd camped out there last, we went back to camp there again and the huge cave's roof had all caved in...scary!!! The rats were insane in there and would try to get into our packs and even our sleeping bags at night.
Thanks so much for the kind words my friend! Really appreciate your viewership! If you haven't already, check out my latest video. I think you will like it! Excellent geology and archaeology. -Johnny
This vidéo is quite amazing and how you got your drone views remains a mystery. How magma melts and the shape it takes makes me wish no one would try landing even with a parachute in such a lavafield... 🌋
Cathedral Hill would be whats left of the volcano cone. The vent would be at the bottom of the slope of the hill. Quite the eruption and lots of errosion since it erupted. Cool site.
@@johnnyoutwest The lighter colored rock may be a rock called tuff. Its a hard-ass rock that was once volcanic ash. The dark stuff mixed in would be basalt that came a little later so, that area saw more than one volcanic event. Seeing whats left tells us it was all biggerr than a big city area.
Hi Johnny, my name is Pete, would LOVE to see it in person but stuck in South Africa all my life although my Dad and previous generations were American so i was born out of state. Bless You Brother.
There's Mammoth cave on the Markagunt plateau near Cedar Breaks and Duck Creek. Lots of extinct or dormant volcanoes allover the Intermountain west. Fascinating. Great vid! Thanks!
I wonder if you could find anything in the 3 sisters flow. On the west end, there is a spectacular black cinder flow of large stones with a small castle like lookout someone built there in the 70's or something on that highway leading from sisters toward the sw. I saw an alien saucer about 250' wide over the area there once. Germans apparently camp on the other side of the middle sister from the town of Sisters.
This was an amazing find! I laughed when you said it might collapse I myself always think worse case scenario but you can never be too cautious 😊I really enjoyed this adventure thank you for sharing with us 😊
Thanks for watching! Doing good, just been struggling to get these videos edited as quickly as I'd like. Would love to eventually get to weekly videos - that's the goal. How about yourself??
Those names for the types of lava flows is Hawaiian. The first one, a'a is pronounced Ah ah, as in the sound you would make if you were to walk on it barefoot, ah ah. The other, Pahoehoe is the smoother roapy flow and is pronounce Pa hoy hoy.
interesting question and love that you brought this up. I would have to think that going into winter, the water inside the basalt and in between cracks of course freezes and expands the cracks more. Then when the ice melts there are voids in the basalt causing collapses. How'd I do?
These look like they have been diggen and trod by minors using dynamite as for geologic and topographic reasons as to dig tunnels from a place to another . These prospectors were looking for gold & glory and found their fate. 🌋💎

great video bro much love from Paris
Thanks so much brother. Appreciate you.
-Johnny
I’ve been meaning to check these out. We should collab. Keep up the good work
Appreciate you man! Its a super sick spot
Love the opening footage sequence!! 😮
Thank you baba!
Great video. Thank you! I liked it so much, I subscribed!
Thanks so much for the sub! Appreciate you
-Johnny
seems like an interesting place for a volcano. super cool
Yeah in theory these volcanoes don't belong here in Utah. But there's an even deeper backstory to all that. Perhaps for another video..
Artfully done my friend
Thank you brother!
Great content as always Johnny! Looking forward to the next drop
thank you for watching sir!!
Hard to believe this is real! I have never seen anything like it! So very cool. Looking forward to part 2. Well done John!
Pretty amazing! Thanks 🙂
Lava tubes are really cool!

Whatsup Pete! You gotta make it happen! What’s holding you back??

Oh wow i'll have to check that place out. Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!

Haha those invasive thoughts tend to come up here and there! Thanks for watching!
Checkout craters of the moon in idaho. I loved it! It's a full day event though.
Added to the list - Appreciate the recommendation! Thanks for watching ben!
Cool, been waiting. How you doing?

Yeah I knew I was butchering those pronunciations. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
The vast majority of lava tube collapses occur as the lava is cooling, very rare to have rock fall.
Interesting, thanks for the comment!
The sea level went down a lot in hundreds of years right? So the next answer is.....
that's a little bit of baja experience right there in Utah, hahaha.
Haha pretty crazy. Thanks for watching!
I'm hoping part 2 is the Lace Curtain
You might be onto something..Thanks so much for watching
The collapses likely happen in the spring time. Why?

@@johnnyoutwest 100%. Water expands when it freezes. This fractures the rock but as long as it stays frozen it holds things in place.
@@joek511 sounds about right. thanks for chatting! More geological adventures coming soon!
That's all BIOLOGICAL buddy. Most likely from a giant that died human or beast. Mudfossil University can explain this.
