Today was mostly a day of driving, out of Jackson and to Boise. But we stopped along the way at Craters of the Moon National Monument in southern Idaho. The lava flows from thousands of years ago form an other-worldly landscape. We enjoyed the interpretive displays at the visitor center and then drove a 7-mile loop within the park, stopping to eat a picnic lunch and walk on the pathways. The weather was cool, somewhat windy, and spitting a little rain. But not enough to keep us in the car.
Getting there and to Boise took us through the flat Snake River valley in Idaho, over the long, straight roads of Highway 20 for many miles. To relieve the boredom of our long drives, we’ve been listening to novels on CD in the car. It has made the miles go by quickly.
