What is the Valley of 10,000 Smokes? I've heard it has something to
do with volcanoes.

Dear reader,
The Valley of 10,000 Smokes is a pyroclastic flow deposit in Katmai National Park. It was
erupted from Katmai
volcano in 1912. It was the largest eruption in North America this
century. When the valley and deposit was viewed a couple years later it
was still steaming. That's how the name originated.
