Craters of the Moon National Monument

A bit nostalgic for last year's summer vacation road trip out west  On the way back east, we stopped at Craters of the Moon National Monument. A bit out of the way, but worth a visit.  It's a huge extinct lava field.  Apparently the Apollo astronauts trained here to see what it would be like on the moon.  Cool!  A few pics from my old camera....

Lava flows.

Flowers growing in the lava flows.

These yellow flowers are everywhere.

A very well preserved tree.
