In 2009, myself and some other adventurers traveled to the site of the Novarupta lava dome and surrounding … Continue reading The Other Side of Novarupta
Novarupta and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes
In July I visited Katmai National Park and hiked through The Valley of 10,000 Smokes. If you want to go somewhere that is vastly different than pretty much anywhere else on earth, then this is the place to be!
