It was raining ashes at the time but it was so open. I loved how we had total access to all the wilderness that we wanted. I went with my youngest daughter, my friend ,and his oldest daughter. The kids loved the hikes we took and loved the animals we saw even more. My daughter told me her favorite part was the entire experience. That was my favorite part too. I think its too amazing to describe. The memory was great. I highly suggest stopping by.
