​Walk the .25 mile paved trail through the most traveled trail in the Monument for up close views of a'a and pahoehoe lava, the two types of lava found in Craters of the Moon.  As the sunlight reflects off the lava, you will see the shimmering blues of the Blue Dragon Flow left behind thousands of years ago as molten lava flowed across the earth's surface.  

Massive monoliths were floated through this area of the Monuments, reminding us of the power of nature and its unraveling majesty. 

One can only marvel at the sight of the Snake River as it winds past Twin Falls, Idaho.  As the 13th longest river in the United States with a length of 1,078 miles and depths up to 90 feet, this magnificent river originates in Yellowstone National Park and ends in the Columbia River.  Locally, views of this mighty river extend from the Twin Falls Waterfall and Dam, through Pillar Falls, Shoshone Falls, past the Twin Falls Visitor Center, Auger Falls, Hagerman, Buhl and beyond . The Snake River is a favorite among kayakers, boaters, water skiers and fisherman all along its way.  ​
