Newberry National Volcanic Monument

The rainy day was promised in Oregon and I decided to go to lava cave (who cares about rain in the cave anyway?). When I came to the cave parking lot the line to park was huge! I decided to go to visitor center and see what they have to offer. I found they have a shuttle going to the top of Lava Butte ($2 per person) and went there. The view from the top was breathtaking! Forest, lava fields, blue sky and fluffy clouds! After returting to the parking lot I drove to the cave and foung the line was reduced. I waited for 30 min and was able to park and go to the cave. It was sooo much fun to go and cool down in the middle of the hot summer day!
