    The hot springs and pools are THE things to do there. Lava is a small, rural Bannock County town that otherwise has few notable attractions. We always enjoyed going there when we lived in Pocatello. It's a bit too far from Boise, though.

    The McKenzie Pass just outside Sisters, OR is another wild place just like this. With views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Washington and the Three Sisters. That was one of our favorite areas before moving to Idaho. Lava Hot Springs is awesome! One of the nicest we've been to besides The Springs in Idaho City.

    The first time I saw this moon landscape was when Traveling Robert was there. It blew my mind and brought me back to visits to the Canary Island of Lanzarote. Idaho is on my bucketlist! On Lanzarote the lave hit the ocean and we still have many olivine gems we found while exploring. Thank you.

    Been to Craters many times, including camping overnight in a little Coleman dome tent with my kids - all of this before you two were born. Craters can be a challenging environment for camping or day trips, as it can be very hot in the daytime and very cold at night in the summer, and it gets way too much snow in the late fall and winter to be accessible. It's almost always windy and the dust that kicks up is gritty and smells like sulfur. Still, there's plenty to see there, especially if you enjoy going into lava tube caves. Indian Tunnel was always a favorite of my kids because there's always some daylight in there (during the day, of course). Never tried camping there in a motorhome, though. Cheers.

    Across the street from the Lava Hot Springs spa is the Port Neuf River tubing area, where my wife dislocated her shoulder while tubing. The person at the tubing office told us that his friend dislocated his shoulder there two weeks prior. At the Port Neuf Medical Center in Pocatello, the emergency doctor told us that they treat a lot of injuries from that spot. We should have ignored the tubing and just gone to the spa like you did. Yes, the mornings are the best there for peace and quiet.
