Ash Cave Upclose

It's easier to guage just how big this thing is when you see this photo. At its base are a few folks checking out this majestic masterpiece. Click on the photo so you can see a larger version, and notice how big the cave is, and then just imagine what this thing looked like when you saw it upclose. It was amazing! I can't wait to go back in a few weeks - especially after some more snow/rain and freezing temperatures - to see how it's changed and grown, and what other formations are on and around it.


This photos is really cool. It looks like a volcano or some other weird, natural formation, spouting water into the air.













Here you can see the mouth of the waterfall, and how water froze around the flowing water... creating a long, icy tube that reminded me of a gigantic garden hose. It's falling onto the ever-growing ice formation at the bottom, and its side are beautiful and fascinating.
