Lava tubes

 

Snow Canyon area has the biggest volcanic activity of all of Utah.  There are lava tubes everywhere.  As a teenager, I remember my grandma driving me and my cousins out to them to explore. I think the last time I did them was with Landon or Jake with grandma's big stash of flashlights.  I knew that the kids would love to see them so I had them pack flashlights.  Then all of us forgot to bring them from our hotel to the caves.  Whoops.  Jer had two in the van and that worked well enough. It was about 3 miles round trip to get out to them.  We decided just to go the first one, but ended up at the third one on accident, then we looped back to the first one because Evelyn was very upset that we weren't planning on spending a lot of time in one.  Jer was super sweet and carefully helped all the kids down into one so that Evelyn could get pictures for the book she wants to make about dragons and giants in Snow Canyon.









Evelyn took most of these pictures.  She's excited to try to start her project.


I love this picture.... Seth was having a harder time getting down from the rock, so Evelyn turned around and helped him down.
