Lava River Cave

Leaving Crater Lake we decided to take a small detour to a site we've never stopped at before, Lava River Cave. Of course we had to stop off at a diner along the way...

We knew the caves would be cold (hence the bundling of Soren in Peter's jacket this time) and dark (hence the flashlight plus a lantern.)

And then it was down, down, down into the cave.

It was pretty cool. And very, very long and deep.

And so cold that we could see our breath.

We hiked deep into the cave, no small feat considering that we were hiking over uneven lava tubes in the dark, and then we climb, climb, climbed our way back out into the bright central Oregon sunshine.
