Vacation Day 3: Lava Butte

Tuesday was a day to rest, which meant exploring the Newberry National Volcanic Monument south of Bend. First stop was the Lava Cast Forest. I'm not sure we were supposed to climb inside, but it didn't say not to :) Then it was on to the Lava Lands Visitor Center and Lava Butte. Last stop: Lava River Cave, a mile-long lava tube that goes under Highway 97. It was very dark and cold. Caving isn't my favorite activity, but Brad enjoyed it. :)
