Coming back from the Carey Fly-in (that went perfect again, great weather), I made a stopover at Bear Trap Cave. I was also going to set down by the Great Rift/ Crystal Ice Caverns, but there were too many people there, I had Bear Trap all to myself. This desert is riddled with caves, and the terrain (lava fields) is so rugged many are still unexplored. Bear Trap is on the edge of the lava, in the sage, with a nice strip right down the road or you can set down right in front. There's another couple of caves right across the road. The official airstrip is a great place to camp out, it is great for meteor showers as it gets REAL dark there as there is nothing for a long ways.




The Great Rift, next time!

Very cool! I'd like to explore over there both in the plane and 4x4

Looks like the PERFECT place for rattlesnakes!!!

Cool!!!!

Explore it with a plane ( on bush wheels), 4x4 ( truck and atv ), and flashlight too.

Very cool. Especially being able to park and explore!

Very cool! I love the shot from inside looking out.
