Craters of the Moon

This weekend you’ll want to look up to see what the Solar System has planned.

Idaho is home to one of the most disappointing and overhyped tourist attractions in the country.

Much like most movies: visiting Craters of the Moon is worth seeing once, but only to say that you did, and you're expected to stay longer than you want to.

Is Craters as good of a tourist spot as the Perrine Bridge, Redfish Lake, or Box Canyon? Not even close. But is it the worst in the state?

Volcanic activity in southern Idaho was prevalent as recent as 2,000 years ago. The landscape has shifted and pressurized to the point that catacomb-like caves can be found throughout the region.

You may need to pull the kids out of school and call in an off day this week: because Wednesday is the birthday celebration of The National Park Service.

Idaho, The Gem State, Home. Whatever you call it, there is no question that it is a very special state. Idahoans, especially natives know these things to their core and sometimes get annoyed when it has to be explained over and over to non-Idahoans.

Idaho: the land of amazing rivers and lakes, lush green forests and fields, and endless beautiful outdoor adventure options. Yet people come here to see the barren lava fields.

Craters of the Moon is made up primarily of sagebrush grasslands and lava fields, which makes the annual bloom somewhat of a wonderous occasion due to the harsh surroundings.

Let me begin by saying...wow!

Napoleon Dynamite is Shakespeare in comparison!
