Description

This loop makes for great hiking terrain around the Blue Lagoon area. The footing is mixed rocks, footpath, mossy surfaces, etc.

The hike starts at the parking lot for the Blue Lagoon facilities, just left of the bus waiting building.

I was a bit worried at the start, about some signs saying there's no access, but I believe these were about danger of entering the hot springs. Other than that, the trail was easy to navigate. There are cairns, and some wooden poles marking the route.

Warning about not entering hot spring, not about not entering trail.

Interesting hike. It starts off on bike paths and is a bit boring. The loops gets better about halfway, winding through miss covered lava.
