The volcanic activity also had an impact on the area rivers. I hiked to Benham Falls which was created when the lava flow redirected the river (7,000 years ago). It was so cool to see the black lava rock right up against the riverbank. The rock looks almost like a bulldozer pushed it into place. The really amazing thing is that a place like this is less than 15 minutes from our house and easily accessible on foot. I love this area for these kinds of opportunities.
