Cinder Cone

————————–
This goes along with yesterday's #wordlesswednesday   post where I just posted the view from the top of Cinder Cone… a unique volcanic oddity created from an eruption that spewed rocks gravel and ash that fell pretty much straight back down, creating this 750-ft-tall 'mountain.' 
  The trail was carefully graded to avoid damaging the rest of the hill, but it's a tough climb since every step forward is followed by a half-step slide back in the loose volcanic gravel.
  This is just one of the interesting sites to visit in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California.
