For each location you need to put an information tag that tells the visitors to your tour interesting facts about the volcano.

Click on Google Earth to begin.

We are planning a camping trip this spring!!

Please look at each site and decide which one looks the most interesting for our group to visit.  We will be spending 1 Saturday night there.  Depending on the amount of GeoChicks attending, we may need some parents to volunteer to go with us.  Getting a bus would be very expensive....
