There are not many places like this on earth where one can walk easily into a nearly mile long lave tube and the amazing thing is that this attraction is yes, FREE!! This was a cool adventure for the entire family as the two teenage boys had already transited to the end of the tube and back before we made...

We visited this attraction with our two teenage boys. The Mike long hike was fun and adventurous. You need sturdy footwear and LARGE flashlight. It was 60+degrees above and we needed jackets to stay warm. It is worth the effort for this free activity that provides some exercise and good family time.
This cave is awesome, and an easy hike that most everyone can enjoy. I was amazed at how deep the cave goes. Very interesting site!
Mile hike under ground, bring a latern and strong flash lights. Wear a hard hat, in some areas the ceiling are very low.
Picture a toothpaste tube crimped on one end, and that's the Lava Cave. It is a 700,000 year old lava tube, about 3/4 of a mile long which basically allows you to walk inside a volcano. There's only one way in and one way out, so you can't get lost. You will need between 1 and 3 hours to fully...

This is an amazing cave hike. Climbing down over the icy rocks at the entrance is a bit gnarly, but then the floor of the cave is relatively flat. This is a great family hike. Typical of caves, it's about 55 degrees year round, so wear a jacket. And IMPORTANT; bring several flashlights with new batteries.
So the road, if you can call it that, to get here is all dirt and dust. The entrance is small. Which makes it intimidating but once you get inside, which doesn't take long, it's a very unique experience. Be careful walking you could easily twist an angle.
I loved this place so much. Recommend a coat though as it gets cold going under ground. Bring some good walking/ hiking shoes if possible as there is lots of lava rocks everywhere. You need to be a sure footed person.
What a great hike, just remember, as others have said, bring you flashlight (or headlamp) and don't forget to make sure that your batteries are full!!
It does get cold in the cave, so a jacket is also a good idea - and please wear good boots!
Whilst you are on the walk, take your time and check out all...
