From baking to freezing in a thousand year old lava tube

Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho - a massive lava field

Day 4 finds me moving further East across the middle of Idaho. After a brief stop at Silver Creek for a dip it was on to the Craters of the Moon National Monument: a massive lava field stretching for miles across the plains. Thousands of years old flows have solidified and in places left behind lava tubes and caves you can climb or walk in. It was amazing how cold they were just a few feet below the baking hot surface.
