Easy but uneven well marked 1-mile loop trail through the rugged most recent (2000 years young) lava. Early morning is best to see the colorful diversity of wildflowers that already colonized the recently hot surface and contrasts with the black lava rocks.

Best place to see the most recent (2000 years young) lava where it flowed over the edge of some older lava flow. Good place to see the ropey pahoehoe slow flowing lava.
