It was fascinating to see lava flows frozen in time. The downside is that it all begins to look the same after a while.
One negative was encountered climbing to the top of Inferno Cone; it was a windy day and I inhaled what I presume to be cinder ash. It irritated my lungs, and was cleared out within 30 minutes in my car by a little coughing.
Just a minor thing.
