Craters of the Moon

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is a truly unique landscape. Located in southern Idaho, the park is home to lava flows, cinder cones, and sagebrush steppe. Most visitors explore the trails, caves, and scenic overlooks along the park's 7-mile loop road, but there are plenty of opportunities for adventurers to get off the beaten path. The park's vast wilderness provides ample opportunity for hiking, backpacking, and wildlife watching. With so much to see and do, the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to explore the "weird and scenic" side of the American West.
