Craters of the Moon
After a night in Salmon, ID to get refreshed from the wilderness, we started south to Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve. On the way we stopped for a hike and soak in Goldbug Springs. It was a hot, exposed 2 mile hike but well worth the trip.
Arrived late to Craters of the Moon and found a spot to sleep thanks to some friendly campers who let us share their space.
Got an early start to explore before the volcanic landscape got heated up and then spent the afternoon exploring the lava tube caves. Some are deep and insulated enough to still have ice in July!
