Climbing an active volcano

Wake up early to catch the sunrise. Entire lake is covered in a thick fog. After a few hours it clears up and we head down to the lake on bikes. Cruise around a bit and find ourselves at a trailhead of sorts. Decide to go ahead and climb the volcano - with a guide. It hasn’t erupted since 2000. Cycle up to a higher starting point and then quickly start scrambling. Lots of loose rocks and pumice. Make it to top as clouds build. Walk around the top for a bit and fortunately take an easier route down. Ride a bit more to get lake views and then back up to the hotel. Rest a bit before walking up to the rim (of course) for dinner.Read more
