Craters of the Moon National Park
Summer Destination: Craters of the Moon Walking on Lava and Gazing at the Night Sky
From Memorial Day through October, you can visit Craters of the Moon for a day or an overnight trip. Camping is allowed and fills up quickly in the summer months. Make sure to bring plenty of water with you, as it’s not easy to find in this dry region. During the summer, hiking is best done in the morning before it gets too hot. Save the caves for the afternoon, as they remain cooler than the exterior features of the park. In the spring, witness wildflowers among the cinder gardens. Summer brings the blooms of prickly pear cactus and syringa flowers and wondrous night skies. During the fall, the crowd thins out, so this is also a great time to visit.
Head west of Star Valley for a few hours, and you’ll arrive at Craters of the Moon National Park and Preserve in southeastern Idaho. This national park and geological wonder offers you a look at the unique effects thousands of years of volcanic activity have had on its ground, yielding a landscape unlike anything you’ve previously experienced. Lava fields, cinder cones, lava tubes, and caves are just some of the wonders you can explore. Thanks to its location, Craters of the Moon also provides awesome views of the night sky relatively unpolluted with light from cities, and it has been designated an International Dark Sky Park to recognize and preserve this feature. Each spring and fall, the Idaho Falls Astronomical Society hosts “star parties” and provides telescopes and sky-viewing knowledge.
