Talk about interesting, it\u2019s like walking on lava like you see in movies or a science shows only here the lava is hard. The trail makes a rough circle and is marked by Carin\u2019s (rock piles). To keep you from getting lost. \u00a0They suggest finding the next Carin before you continue walking&#8230;&#8230;.. Good advice!<\/p>\n<p>This area is pretty barren, there are a few small trees and other bushes scattered about but nothing of any size. I think the literature \u00a0says its about 3500 years old and still very little grows on it.<\/p>\n<p>There are cracks and fissures every where and they are anywhere from a foot or so deep to well we couldn\u2019t see the bottom in a few of them. It was a pretty easy walk but we were glad we had our boots on, it\u2019s a good area to break a leg to hide a body.<\/p>\n<p>More words and pictures below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
