The most common complaint I hear when people come to visit is Craters of the Moon. I've been a few times and agree. Craters is my definition of a tourist trap.
Craters of the Moon is starting to get a lot of attention for a brand new reason. It has just been named the best place in Idaho to view the night sky. Even better, there are chances for you to experience it yourself.
In case you missed it, there was quite a show in the sky a few nights ago. Thanks to an incoming solar storm, the northern lights were visible in many parts of Idaho. One photographer captured some amazing pics over Craters of the Moon.
We hear a lot about the Yellowstone super-volcano. Thanks to a national website, we've just been reminded that our real danger lies to our north where a couple dozen little volcanoes are waiting to kill us.
By now, it's a well-established fact that I'm a log cabin freak. It doesn't help that there is one that is available that's not that far from us. Truth is it's right next door to Craters of the Moon.
Craters of the Moon is a very unique place to visit any time of year and is completely worth the modest admission price. But, there are several days in 2017 when you can go for the wonderful price of free.
