    Hiking

    The Glass Buttes area is a very special place: all over the area and on the hills you can find tons of obsidian, from tiny, shiny pieces to big chunks. Obsidian is a sort of volcanic rock that is created when lava is cooling down rapidly. It ends as a glassy, mostly black, rock. It is very sharp along the edges, so that it was used for surgeries. Although there are lots of regions where you can find Obsidian, this is the only place where you are allowed to collect it.
