Lava Tubes of SW Washington
I hit the road with a new buddy I made on Instagram this morning. Last night we were trying to decide between one of the waterfall hikes in the Gorge or something else. We eventually settled on trying to locate a hidden lava tube near Carson, WA that we had both heard about and see photos of. After some back road adventuring and a quick quarter mile hike we found our hole in the ground and wandered in. Inside we found a huge, cavernous, cathedral shaped lava tube with striated walls and sections of floor alternating between high piles of boulder and smooth sand and cooled lava. We spent some time shooting long exposures, painting the walls with our headlamps. There's no darkness quite like being 1/4 mile under the surface of the earth and turning all your lights off.
Let's be friends!
