This park is absolutely rich in natural history and great for a quick hike along the paved trail OR a more arduous one along the unimproved path. Camping out here is a great experience as it is so quiet, and the showers and bathrooms are very clean and easy to get to. There is a pit toilet near the entrance as well. The book and gift shop is well-appointed, and the people are very friendly here. The air is so clean here, and the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. The vegetation that grows among the lava rocks is varied, and there are some good signs along the trail that will help you identify them, as well as a nice brochure that you can get in the shop. I love this park because of the essence of the sheer energy that it took to create this lava field. I love imagining what life was like in this area at the time of the eruption.
