Lava River Cave, 14 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona, is a mile-long lava tube cave was formed roughly 700,000 years ago by molten rock that erupted from a volcanic vent in nearby Hart Prairie. The top, sides and bottom of the flow cooled and solidified first, after which the insides of the lava river continued to flow emptying out the present cave. Learn more at Lava River Cave: A Natural Museum.
Visiting Lava River Cave: Wear sturdy shoes and warm clothes. The cave is as cool as 42°, even in summer. The descent into the cave is steep and tricky, the floor of the cave is uneven, and the ceiling of the cave is low in some spots. Shortly after entering the cave, there is no light. Headlamps are recommended over flashlights, and carry at least one spare light per group! The site is open 24 hours a day, and is not staffed. Roads to the site may be closed in the winter and early spring. For more information about this site, see the Lava River Cave recreation page on the Coconino National Forest website.

I went for a hike in the Seven Springs area north of Carefree south on the Cave Creek Trail #4 to see how one of my favorite Saguaro cacti was faring.

The CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) constructed this recreation site in 1934. Large sycamore trees next to a small creek provide shade. Though the water of the creek is only ankle deep, it offers a cool respite from Arizona’s summer heat.

Happy Fence Friday, HFF,
The entrance to Lava River Cave. The short, steep descent into the cave is rocky. A short distance past the entrance the cave is completely dark.

Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, a research faculty member in climate and space sciences and engineering (CLaSP), center, works with Yufei Fu, left, Lillian Cui, background, Hailey Chung, right, and other students from Skyline High School in Ann Arbor assemble the SunRISE Ground Radio Lab kit at the M-Air outdoor lab on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday afternoon, May 17, 2023.
SunRISE Ground Radio Lab (GRL) is a science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) radio science campaign, sponsored by NASA, in which high schools across the United States are participating in collaboration with the University of Michigan College of Engineering and NASA’s Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) mission. Building upon the Radio JOVE Project, the SunRISE Ground Radio Lab engages citizen science using a multi-frequency radio telescope to observe radio emissions from Jupiter, the Sun, the Milky Way Galaxy, and Earth. The SunRISE mission is due to launch in 2024.
Akhavan-Tafti and his team were working directly with David Greene and students from Skyline High School in Ann Arbor to work through the entire assembly process of the SunRISE GRL radio kit, which the UM students have designed and extensively tested. The antenna kits will be sent to various high schools from Marquette, Michigan down to Puerto Rico. The assembly was recorded and will be made available along with self-paced radio science modules to participating high schools. The reason behind this was the hope that high school students around the country would find the kit assembly doable by seeing their fellow students from Skyline in the video instructions.
