| Crater's of the Moon National Monument |
Crater's of the Moon National Monument is a forgotten gem in the national park system. Formed by a volcanic active area that was last active about 1,000 years ago, it forms a surreal environment so much like what was expected on the moon that it was used by Nasa for training during the Moon missions.
It is also a long way from anywhere. Its about an 1 1/2 from the closest major city Idaho Falls. However its well worth taking the time to visit. |

Nice page. I've been to this place last year on my way to Yellowstone and truly enjoyed it. | goingsolo Fri Sep 22, 2006 02:04 UTC
I never knew about this place until I started researching a possible trip out west. Looks very interesting and definitely worth a visit! | roamer61 Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:37 UTC
An eerie place. I am surprised to see plants growing there. But again plants sprout up quickly following the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. | FRONA Sat Nov 19, 2005 21:41 UTC
