We stayed in a quaint little motel an hour away from Craters of the Moon National Park. We decided we couldn't count a state unless we actually spent time in it. So, here we were spending time. The park is pretty amazing and worth the stop.
I love the character of trees and the story they tell of their life by their growth patterns. So, lots of tree photos in this desolate volcanic crater.
My husband and I climbed to the top of a mound of volcanic rock to check out the views, while my mom took her turn hanging out with Jasper. Another national park where dogs are not allowed on trails or outside of parking lots or roads.
We explored caverns made from lava flows under the surface. No. We didn't go in the caverns as there wasn't enough time, plus we weren't going to leave Jasper in the car to go do it.
After the park, we had to leave by passing back through the little town where we stayed. We grabbed someyhing quick to eat and allowed Jasper some time to explore a bit.
From there, we headed into Pocatello, ID. My husband needed to get in a run. So, my mom & I wandered the city, found a dog friendly brewery for lunch, and then wandered back to pick up my husband from the park where he started his run. There was a youth/community bike race/ride going on, so we had fun watching the people as we waited for my husband.
From there, we headed home to Colorado.
