127) Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve

Visited: Thursday, September 17, 2020

Craters of the Moon feels like - nowhere else, really.  There's a _bit_ of Hawai'i Volcanoes to the site, but - it's just a taste of that.  The lava cones are particularly impressive; it amuses me to no end that one is called Snow Cone.  Almost as impressive as some of the lava - which really seems to be growing up from the ground some places - are the fields of little white flowers, according to the information there being a type of Buckwheat, which uses an extensive root system to support the miniscule bit of the plant that shows above ground.

I'm not one for camping, but there is camping at Craters of the Moon, and - I could almost see it.  At least with an RV; it's just such an odd place to be that being there longer would be fascinating.
