| On the way down, the entire trail was made of volcanic gravel. This gravel would would get into our shoes at every step, and eventually, our shoes would fill up with volcanic rocks of all sizes. It was pointless to stop every 5 min to empty our shoes, so we had to endure the pain for the length of the trail, which seemed to be twice the length of the trail on the way up. At the end of the trip, we could empty 2 cups total of this volcanic gravel out of our shoes. I bet I still have some of this in my shoes now. |
