Going Underground, Revisited - Medicine Lake Highlands Volcanic Area - Scenic Mt Shasta

I returned to the lava tube that I walked through a month ago. This time I brought a flashlight so I could explore the side tunnel, and light the middle section of the tube. As a bonus I show the surrounding area, including a natural rock arch and another (shallow) cave. The tube is about 7 feet high at the highest point and towards the exit it drops down to about 5 feet in height. The side tube is about 4 feet high.

Location: Medicine Lake Highlands Volcanic Area, east of Mt Shasta, California.

"Medicine Lake Highlands is the largest identified volcano (in total area) within California, and is one of the most unique geologic features in North America. Because this subrange of the Cascades is somewhat remote, the fascinating nature of this area is largely unappreciated."
