Highway 30 north from Carson is full of esses, and once you settle in to them you feel like you're one with the bike and can take the road at 10 mph faster than posted limits in most places. There are a few tight corners where it's a good idea to adhere to the signs though.
Views of the volcano are plentiful. Today the top was cloud covered but otherwise the snow-covered volcano was breathtakingly striking. Yellow and purple flowers were blooming all over the place. I felt like I was in a volcanic Sound of Music.
I met very few cars on the road. Rode to Ape Cave and Lava Canyon next.
Ape Cave is a 1 1/4 mile lava tube you can walk through if you have the right gear, which I didn't. It was named after a local pack of Boy Scouts, there are no primates in sight. Gotta come back for some spelunking sometime.
Go past Ape Cave to Lava Canyon and get schooled on what lava does to the landscape.
