Colleen and her husband Greg recently embarked on a captivating journey through Volcanoes National Park with friends. Despite not being expert hikers, their passion for nature and adventure has led them to some incredible places, including a recent trek through this mesmerizing landscape.

Join us as Colleen recounts their 4.4-mile hike, a perfect balance of drama and accessibility. What makes this hike so special? Well, imagine walking through a dormant caldera right next to an active one! It's a unique opportunity to witness the raw power of nature up close and personal.
