Hundreds of years ago, a river of fiery lava flowed through the cave-like Thurston Lava Tube on its journey down the coast. Visitors today walk through a lush fern forest to reach the lighted lava tube that was first discovered in 1913 by Lorrin Thurston, a newspaper publisher. |

Standing at the entranceway in the midst of this peaceful setting, try and imagine the giant lava flow that would have rushed through the tube on its powerful path of both destruction and creation. |
