Weekend Adventure: Lava Tubes

Posted by Peer Jack Mentors on April 5, 2018

How many people can say in their lifetime they have visited a lava river tube. What a crazy experience! Well, what if I told you this brag worthy hike is less than 40 minutes away from NAU? Flagstaff’s official website recommends you take this hike around the summertime. The exact time Peer Jacks goes on our annual trip here!

Considering taking this hike? Follow these helpful tips before you embark:

Bring a 2-3 sources of light: No seriously, It’s crazy dark down there. Also, if you happen to drop your flashlight, you’ll have a backup just in case.

Wear steady shoes: Due to the uneven ground, having closed toed shoes is the way to go.

Warm Clothing: On average the temperature inside the caves is around 42 degrees, so make sure to dress in layers.

Happy Adventuring!
