Day 6: Lava Beds National Monument

Thursday, September 9, 2010: In the morning, we hiked 6.6 miles round trip on the Whitney Butte Trail. The trail ends at a large lava flow.




Then we explored several of the caves.







Before the sun went down, we hiked to the top of Schonchin Butte (a cinder cone) and took in the views.

 











One of the most beautiful sights from the top of the butte was our Westy in the panarama -- the sole vehicle in sight as far as the eye can see. Can you find it?

Ok, ok, I'll zoom in. Now do you see it?
