A friend of mine that lives in Albany Oregon, took me on this amazing five mile hike around Clear Lake, It was absolutely awesome, the hike itself, even though it's 5 miles was fairly easy, with the usual stops here and there on the trail to observe the beauty of it all It took us about 2 and 1/2 hours, It was breathtaking, the lava field was amazing I've never seen actual lava rock that was created and flowed trouble volcano. I would highly suggest to anybody that is down in that area to take a good hard look at going on this hike, as the Glory of God will surrounded you,as it did me!
