Craters of the Moon National Park

This park is in Idaho and it is basically a huge area full of dried lava rock. We even got to look down the centers of two very old volcanoes. One of them had snow in the bottom. It was pretty cool. It is interesting to see the rocks covered with lichens and then once the lichens turn the lava to small rocks other small plants come in and grow and then eventually the lava is broken down enough for sagebrush, trees and other vegetation to start growing. What a planet!! We also saw a lot of chipmunks there!!
