CRATERS OF THE MOON NATIONAL MONUMENT AND PRESERVE | Arco, IDAHO | Shoshone Falls
Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is located in Arco, Idaho. This 750,000 acre park makes you feel like you are on another planet! The desolate and rocky terrain are the remnants of a volcanic eruption a mere 2,000 years ago! Its dormant NOT extinct, so the experts say it will erupt again someday! PLUS we finish the day viewing the Niagra of the West, Shoshone Falls.

Really interesting the moon national monument friend. Beautiful sharing. Good evening from Cambodia
We love exploring volcanoes! We camped beside one in Mojave. That view from the top is gorgeous! Those trees with exposed roots remind me of the trees in the Olympic peninsula! Nature is amazing! I love the lava tube. It has more colors than the ones in Mojave. The waterfall without falling water sure is disappointing! See you around, take care.

Hi! I would love to visit the Craters of the Moon! The lava rocks are so beautiful! I would take a bucketful home if I could. :) How fun to stand in a miniature volcano!! The Indian tunnel and climb out sure look cool! Shoshone Falls would have been amazing in a different season. 💚

Y'all would love it, the boys really loved climbing those rock, it was such fun! Yeah the waterfall could have been better, but we still had fun rolling down that hill, lol. Thanks for watching!

The miniature volcano was one of the nicest things I've ever seen. The Indian tunnel was neat. I think at my spry young age of 68, I'd give it a try. Nice video. Well, when we went to the falls, it was a little better than you saw, but nothing like the pictures was saw.👍Like 72

I can see why it is called Craters of the Moon, the landscape is definitely other worldly in appearance and the lava flows are surreal to examine. Even the lava granules that are so colorful would seem to be from outer space. Would love to go there and walk through the lava tunnels. Nice presentation.

That looked like a great day! When I was a kid, I remember finding some pumice at Craters of the Moon, and putting it in water, and seeing a rock that would float! The iridescence in the rocks was really pretty! I can imagine that the kids like the scramble out of the lava tube. Too bad Shoshone Falls was so dry, but glad there was a hill to roll down! ...Til next time...!

That was so beautiful. I remember how much we enjoyed it. We did the same hiking but we didn't check out the tunnel that would be fun. I can imagine how much the kids liked it. Great information on the hours and roads. The falls would be awesome with more water for sure. I'm glad you found a hill 😅😜. Looking forward to the next one

Such a cool place! Craters of the moon really looks like what I think of when I think of the moon! It’s wild how many places on earth feel out of this world! We just had an experience like that Wadi Rum dessert in Jordan which felt like Mars. Not going to lie, if someone told me caves were closed for seismic activity I might have booked it out of the park 😂🌋

That was an awesome visit. I'm glad you stopped here so now I can show Kristy since she may stop here in her travels in July. going through the cave was pretty cool. That would be the place to be in the summer too in order to escape the heat. Looks pretty barren there. That shiny part of the rock you were touching was super cool. Too bad about the water flow. Kristy has the falls on her list too. Awesome visits. Have a great day, Melissa.
