Lookout Point


The upside-down waterfall.
When the winds are just right, water flows out of this and flows (gets blown) up the mountain.

Terrestrial Growing Pains

Steam rising from a crater.
Land forming in the distance. There is an active lava flow to which visitors can hike 1.5 miles from the end of the road. If you're unprepared for a long hike over razor-sharp volcanic rock (need long pants, water, sunscreen, gas mask, shotgun, etc., etc.), you can take the short [300 ft] trail to get closer to the noxious fumes.
