Actually the tour bus took us within 200 meters of the crater and we walked the rest of the way up. It was straight up with a couple of switch backs. Going up was physically very hard. I thought I would never get my breath. Coming down was really hard on the knees. I wanted to give up many times but Rick urged me on to the finish. They say it takes 20 minutes to walk up. Well, that is a lie. It took us close to 40 minutes because we had to stop a lot to catch our breath and let our leg muscles rest.
