Caption: "Devil's Kitchen," c. 1923. This photograph shows several people descending into and standing around the entry to Devil's Kitchen, an extinct hot spring that left behind a cavern. Once a popular tourist attraction for its small opening that made visitors feel as if they were descending into the underworld, the site was closed in 1939 because the cavern periodically fills with dangerous levels of carbon dioxide.
