What he said: "Lava Beds National Monument is fascinating. Lava Beds is riddled with lava tubes. When it's 90 degrees you still need a jacket for walking in the lava tubes. Some of them actually have year-round ice. One of them has a fern garden growing beneath a hole in the tube's ceiling. The walls inside are lined with pictographs.
The whole thing has a feel of remoteness. "
