Yesterday was my day of fun. The day started of innocently enough with me sleeping in until twelve. Then I got the call. It was my friend Viktoria, she had invited me on a hike up to a place called cinder cone.
Cinder Cone is located in
Lassen Volcanic National Park. She said that she was planning to go yesterday and did I still want to go. I said yes. Viktoria is from Hungary. I met her last summer. She married a guy from here so they visit every year. She's great. We were also going to take these other girls visiting from Kazakhstan. There names are Dilshat, Arai, and Assel. They're great. We left at around 3pm. we drove to the next town over and dropped off Viktorias car. Then they all piled into my car. We had to drive for almost 45 min.s to get to the trailhead.
This is where we started.
Butte Lake
We Continued hiking on a trail that is literally made of Very fine Lava that felt like we were walking on a beach. We stopped at the
Fantastic Lava Beds were Assel decided to break the rules and steal a piece of Lava.

This is when we first saw the Cinder Cone. We couldn't resist a photo.


This is up close and personal. Doesn't look so small anymore.

On the way up the Trail is sand as well. And boy was it hard to walk up there. Every step you took slid back a little ways. This is where I had to stop for a rest. I wasn't even a quarter of the way up!


This is the second time I stopped. I took a picture of these people on a trail all the way at the bottom. Can you see them?


This is Butte Lake from my third and final stop. All of the dark around the lake that looks like it could be dirt is the Fantastic Lava Beds

This is me finally at the top.

When we were finally all up there we walked around the rim and ate lunch on the only trees up there. From the left is Dilshat, Assel, me and Viktoria.

We also drank some
Tibor Gal wine Viktoria brought from Hungary.

The Cinder Cone has this huge sunk in cylinder in the middle. Assel, Dilshat and Viktoria went down to the bottom

This is them acting like they fell over dead at the bottom. I have my camera zoomed in as far as it will allow.

This is what the top of the hole looked like from the top ring of the cone.

And this is the sunset from the top as well

Although getting up was very tough going down was easy. The trail is so soft that you almost just slid the whole way. It was very fun. We all the ran and slid like we were skiing. We only fell down a couple of times

. It was dark by the time we got back to my car. we washed our feet off in the Lake and called it a day. Well that was my day on August 5th 2008.
