Today to celebrate Martin Luther King's Birthday we decided the head north of town and hike around Fossil Falls. It was a beautiful but slightly windy day. We hiked around for an hour and then had a picnic lunch. The kids loved crawling through all the formation that a lava flow from long ago left behind. Water then came through and smoothed the basalt rock formations which causes the rocks to be quite slippery. None the less it was great entertainment for today.
After eating our lunch we drove up to an overlook of Little Lake. It ended up being quite the drive, but was a fun view of the valley below. On the right side is a red cinder cone that caused all of the lava flow before the ice age. We love getting out an exploring as a family so this was right up our alley. Thanks Mr. King for having a birthday so we could have family play day.
