Lava Tube Cave Campout

We will be going to the Lava Tube Cave just north of Flagstaff AZ. This will not be a hike, we will be camping near the cave (about a mile away) and we will be able to park the cars at the camp site.

We are meeting at the church and hoping to leave immediately at 5:00 PM (east side).  We should be back before dinner on Saturday.  We will drop the boys off at their home.

Information about this location can be found here:
