The trail winds through
shrubs and stands of limber pine before reaching the edge of the Blue Dragon
Flow. While still molten, this lava flow knocked down and ignited trees.
The charred tree trunks left impressions in the lava rock. In other places,
the trees remained standing as the lava encased them, leaving vertical molds
in the cooling lava.
