I visited one of my favorite spots once again, the hidden hot springs. For those who want to visit, I'll show you how to get there. First you follow the long trail into nowhere.
Your second step is very important. As you follow the long trail to nowhere, be careful and watch your step. If you are not constantly seeking your destination, your destination will find you: The entrance to the lava tube caves.
Make sure you bring a lantern, it is very dark inside the lava tube caves. Lava would flow creating a hollow tube. You can see below that the this lava tube over time is falling in. Navigate through the cave as fast as possible until you see the sunlight pierce through the exit.
When you stand at the exit of the lava tube caves you must pass through the molten eye. Only the penitent man will pass.
Now you will need to climb your way out. What you see below is a spot where millions of years ago this tube collapsed. This is what you see when you exit the tube, you are still in the lava flow path.
Once you are out, you have made it! You have found the hidden hot springs. Due to the volcanic activity still in the area the water is heated. It's very relaxing after a long expedition!
These hot springs are lava tubes as well getting darker and darker as they reach deeper into the ground. Don't try to touch the bottom!
I hope you have fun! Don't forget to bring your camera, sunscreen, and some water:) - Until next time!
