Fool's Hill

Fool's Hill is the largest and most recently-formed cinder-cone hill volcano of the Ashpile Hills range, located in the southwest of Tockotch, near Port Sulfur. Fool's Hill is known for its sulfur and blue-colored flames and lava flows, due to the sulfur content in its rocks. Its name comes from the saying that only a fool would think its blue "rivers" are water and its yellow rocks are gold.
