Lava Caves in Northern Arizona

Just this last Fall in October, Joe and I hiked the Lava Caves with his family.  These caves were underground.  The entrance to the cave was just this massive hole in the ground, it was crazy!.  It was very dark, and cold.  When we were about 30 feet to the entrance of the cave, you could feel a cold draft of air and you could tell the dramatic drop in the temperature. In fact it was so dark, that when we turned our flashlights out, we couldn't event see our own hands in front of us.  At times the cave would get so small we would have to crawl on the ground and other times the height of the ceiling cave was huge!  I had never gone a hike like this before, it was a one of a kind experience.  We had a blast!
