After breakfast, we strolled around the resort. The place is so spacious i think they're still expanding the golf course...

Our messy living room.

By 10am we're on our way to bend. Reached Lava River Cave
www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/recreation/peaks/lava-river-cave.shtml at 1pm. As the name suggest, this cave is formed by Lava. It is also famous because it cuts through Highway 97, from below of course!
From the entrance it looked so dark inside. We had to carry the kerosene lamp. one would need 45 min to reach the innermost part and then another 45 min back. Without the kero lamp, we couldn't even see wat's infornt of us. sometimes, it's steep, sometimes slippery, sometimes narrow. And there's not much ppl inside the cave!
Entrance of cave. Its not that cold although must of the lava rocks are filled with ice.

Back to the entrance!
