We went to Glass Mountain, which is comprised of a lot of obsidian (black, shiny volcanic rocks) and pumice (gray, course volcanic rocks), which result from catastrophic volcanic eruptions and extremely fast cooling of lava. We spent some demonstrating some feats of strength with said rocks as we continue our training for the world's strongest person competition:

No actual pictures of Medicine Lake, where we camped. It is a big, cold lake fed by snowmelt in the main crater of the Medicine Lake Volcano.
