Moon Landing

So we finally made it to one on the strangest places in this country, Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. The landscape goes from flat farmland to black lava rock in strange formations and we wondered if we had just entered the twilight zone.


We did a few short hikes in blistering heat. It was neat to see the lava flow caves where ice remains year-long (and what a wonderful respite from the sun).

This was such a crazy hill of glittery black rock and when the kids would run it sounded hollow.

I've never been to Craters of the Moon. It looks totally weird, but cool. Glad you guys had fun. What a week for you!
