Day 1: Let's Go!
Monday, Sept. 8 we skipped school & headed to Yellowstone for 3 days. Monday was our travel day, but along the way we stopped at Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve. Craters of the Moon got it's name because a geologist said it like "the surface if the moon as seen through a telescope." The interesting landscape was formed from volcanic activity thousands of years ago.
This is the view from the top of the largest cinder cone, pretty barren. It was a great diversion from our travels and a great pit stop for lunch and a small hike to stretch our legs.
This is the plant life, not much.

This tree didn't think volcanic rock was very fertile.
