    Woooow the ride out was crazy cool! Like, bouncing in this HUGE monster truck over the black sand, felt like a rollercoaster but in winter gear. Went solo but still made friends on the drive haha. The cave was smallish but blue ice walls are wild up close. Guide was super patient with our million photo stops. Would def go again, just for the ride tbh.
