One of my favorite adventures we completed while living abroad was the hike up this Volcano- Mount Vesuvius Steep dusty and absolutely worth it This legendary volcano famous for burying Pompeii in 79 AD is still active today The climb is around 2 5 miles round trip but feels SO much longer amp takes about an hour to get up the volcano It s a hard hike with the loose volcanic gravel underfoot but it s all worth it for the view of the Bay of Naples stretching out below amp to see at the top of this- a massive steaming crater- witnessing her steam from the lava below knowing she is still active amp I m standing on it- mind blowing It s one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world yet standing on its rim overlooking ancient ruins you can t help but feel in awe of history and nature An unforgettable hike Have you ever hiked a volcano
