My second hike was an altogether different experience from my first, a hike around the rocky moonscape of Tenerife's Chinyero Volcano. The hike was a pretty one that reminded me of some hikes I've done through California, albeit one with a more desolate landscape. The weather was cool, but clear and the views were extraordinary. The areas that I saw surrounding the volcano I would best describe as gravel fields peppered with rough, pockmarked rocks. They were visuals that are reminiscent of Apollo moon landing pictures with some bright green foliage scattered throughout. The trail eventually ventured through what appeared to be an old, solidified lava flow that had the same rough, pockmarked appearance. Overall a pretty amazing hike given the area's unique characteristics.
