Craters of the Moon is an interesting park to visit. You wouldn't assume that Idaho was the home of lava fields and tubes, but alas Utah history doesn't teach children about their neighbors. This is on top of a crater. The rocks were gorgeous because they shimmered with metallic tones. It was a windy day, but that just added to the fun.
This is the Snow Cone. It apparently always has snow in it. This type of volcano is a spatter cone.. there were a a lot near the Snow Cone.
This is inside the Indian Tunnel which is a giant lava tube. It was the only cave you could walk through without a flashlight which we
unfortunately forgot. There is a Dewdrop Cave that connects to the Boyscout Cave both of which were super low and dark. I want to go back someday and try both of them out. Hopefully Larry and Roxy will come up for a double date sometime... wink, wink.

We are so there... nudge nudge...
This looks amazing.
You are so right about Utah education lacking in neighbor enrichment. I had no idea that Idaho had anything cool like this.
