North Crater Flow - Craters of the Moon

North Crater Flow - Craters of the Moon

​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.
