This volcano erupted 300,000 years ago. You can read more about it here:

The hike up to the top was 0.8 miles with 560' elevation gain. It is sort of a family tradition to climb it and this year we got to take Emma. She got her first summit! Woohoo.

Here are a few shots from the beach that I took:
