The Great Rift Valley is a very popular destination for those who love the outdoors and fascinating scenery. This valley is actually a fissure or crack in the earth, it measures almost six thousand miles long, and is still being changed by numerous active volcanoes. These Great Rift Valley volcanoes are responsible for the many hot springs which can be found, some of which contain water at boiling temperatures. The area in and around the valley is lush, with many native plant and animal species, and outdoor activities abound for visitors. There are rivers, mountains, both fresh and saltwater lakes, and many other natural formations to explore and discover.
