climbed down a big lava flow

We are back from our daytrip, during which we drove several miles, visited the cool gift shop, drove to Volcano National Park, walk around a lot near vents which wafted hot humid steamy air, drove to a big lava flow and walked around on that.

After the lava flow, we drove to a black sand beach and saw a big turtle,
