The Indian Cave at Craters of the moon was formed similar to the lava caves in Lassen Volcanic National Park and Newberry Volcanic National Park but much closer to the surface. You didn’t need a flashlight as there were many spots the roof of the cave had caved in.
Today we spent the whole day at Craters of the Moon. We watched the park videos and spent lots of time in the visitors center. We went on many hikes and bike rides through the fields of lava, up cinder cones and fields of cinder.
It’s been nice having a day of no real driving and just meandering through the park. It’s been around 31 degrees all day but with the black lava rocks all around us it feels so much hotter. It is really windy here from mid morning to about supper time – I’m not sure why really. It’s a hot wind but it hurts the ears!
We are at the halfway point of our travels…
