A misty day at Idaho's Crater's of the Moon National Monument.

"The three lava fields lie along the Great Rift of Idaho, with some of the best examples of open rift cracks in the world, including the deepest known on Earth at 800 feet (240 m). There are excellent examples of almost every variety of basaltic lava, as well as tree molds (cavities left by lava-incinerated trees), lava tubes (a type of cave), and many other volcanic features." wiki

The Lava Field spreads across 618 square miles (1,601 km2). It is huge. The only access is at the northern portion.

A most fascinating geological wonder. I definitely will return for some clearer landscape shots of this unique place. However, not in the summer, as it gets mighty hot here then.

Thanks for taking a look!
