Guatemala - Pacaya Volcano  (2,552 m / 8,373 ft)
Located close to the Pacific coastal plain, Pacaya Volcano is a complex of peaks that has been active since around 20,000 years ago. It is the most popular volcano in Guatemala due to its attainable level of hiking. Active and unpredictable, Pacaya Volcano is a constant show of ash clouds and lava flow. Brave visitors can hike almost up to the cone and have a closer look at the flowing lava!   Insider tip: Make sure you consult first with the local authorities if hiking is possible during the time you are visiting. Sometimes the Park closes due to the extreme volcanic activity.

Happy 50th Birthday, Jen.

50 used to be the youth of old age...
but maybe it's the middle age
of youth now.
It's only half-a-century old!

Jen, Happy Birthday.
love you to Kolob and back...
