Went there a lot as a lad myself. Big boulder field and a nature trail. Boulders have a high iron content so when you hit them with a hammer they have a bell like ring, minus the sustain. There's a box at the trail head marked "take a hammer, leave a hammer". The kids, almost 2 and almost 4 years old did incredibly well navigating the terrain. Are there other parks with niche attractions like this? Not necessarily a come beat rocks with a hammer park, but something of that sort of odd. I saw that there's a ringing rocks in Montana, according to Wikipedia.

Be careful though, snakes love lava boulders.

It was a warm day, but I think snakes avoid the boulder field due to the hammer traffic. Trail down to the waterfall I've seen them, usually corn snakes, no worries there. Lots of spiders though. The amount of people I heard freaking out about the spiders... Welcome to nature.

I'm not afraid of spiders, but snakes are a no no.

I'm not afraid of either, but I'd rather the company of snakes over spiders.
