Craters of the Moon National Monument

We stayed at the campsite with was awesome! On the loop road there are many great hikes and everything is so well looked after with plenty of parking places even for a 33ft RV. The hikes are lovely from short to more strenuous. I would give it 10 stars if i could! The campsite and the Park

Fascinating place, driving along the main highway you get a glimpse of the enormity of the site, but the real ‘goodies’ are actually inside the park! Driving round the scenic route you get to see many different aspects of the park, but getting out on the short trails gets you really close up.

What a hidden gem! I was pleasantly surprised at the whole experience! Feel free to fall in love with Bob the little Pika astronaut. And please give to Project Bob. It does make a difference to give everyone a chance to make memories out there on the well marked trails including some that are beautifully designed for wheelchair accessibility. I found the signs information awesome! What! A scientist wrote detailed description of the paths, the formations, and the animals that are found there! Perfect! There are clean bathrooms, nice little gift shop, very informative rangers near entrance. Give this a try, you won't regret it! 2 thumbs up!

Very cool!!! Caves were fun to go through, but you probably can't get through safely without a flashlight. 🤣 long walk to get to caves, but it's worth it. Park rangers were super friendly and gave lots of advice for caves and around the park.

This is a pretty unique place in that I've only ever seen such landscapes in Hawaii and other locales well outside of the United States. My wife and I did several of the shorter hikes and probably spent right around 2 hours in the park. It is fairly compact, so you can knock out the highlights quickly. The road system is excellent and the rangers were very helpful. We didn't go into any caves because we had been in other caves recently and they are doing everything they can to protect the bats from white-nose syndrome. Please be very careful and respectful of the rules to prevent the bats in the park from contracting the deadly disease. You must get a permit and you have to attest that your clothes have never been in another cave, ever.

This place is fascinating and mesmerizing. I love being here. The park rangers and staff are all so helpful and knowledgeable. The visitor center has exhibits, maps, etc that help in understanding the history and formation of this place Give yourself plenty of time to see and enjoy this place

if you like lava you will like it here there is a lot of old lava but not a lot of new lava there is lots of lava rocks and ash this place is big my favorite part was the big black hill thingy definitely worth a quick stop I would say i love idaho

Craters of the Moon is definitely worth going out of the way for. The ancient volcanic landscapes is otherworldly. I had no idea we had this in Idaho. Thought one would have to go to Hawaii, or Sicily or West Africa. Amazing!
