Craters of the Moon

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!

"it doesn’t require white knuckle driving"

The most common complaint I hear when people come to visit is Craters of the Moon. I've been a few times and agree. Craters is my definition of a tourist trap.

50 years ago in July of 1969, Aldrin and Armstrong became the first men to walk on the moon.

It seems like we write about how great Idaho is at least once every week. There truly is so much beauty and adventure to take in.

It's National Park Week, and it's a good time for a road trip.

Ten bucks to see a lava flow?

The travel piece, written last month by staffer Andreas Wass, compares the preserve to visiting a "galaxy far, far away."

I’ve visited the park and not even so much felt a tremble beneath my toes.
