Lava Hike

One of my favorite things about this trip was our lava tube hike. First you start the hike in a cow pasture. Then you hike up this river for about 1.5 miles.
Then you come to this lava tube. It is the hole you see behind me! Yep that is it! You hike into that dark hole:)
Really you hike into this tunnel!

Then you swim through a pool like this and rock climb up the waterfall on the other side. You do this about 7 or 8 times. Half way through it is almost pitch black. Just about the time you think you can no longer see you see a faint light at the end of the tunnel:)

The finish line is this beautiful waterfall. This was AWESOME!!!!!

In the many, many moons it will take to eventually allow us to go back to Hawaii, can you teach us how to find this place? We would love it! I'm glad you had fun and can't wait to see more pictures!
