Day 10 – Craters of the Moon

In the morning it cleared a little bit (it stopped raining) and we could see a tiny bit of the mountains. However, it was too wet for us to go hiking so we decided to drive on to Craters of the Moon National Monument. Once we got there it was already sunny in patches so we decided to pitch the tent first and explore later. Craters of the Moon in another gigantic lava field with volcanoes and more lava flow tubes. We hiked one really nice flow tube and ‘climbed’ a cinder cone. In the evening it was warm and sunny and did not start raining until we already had gone to bed. But then it started pouring down with thunderstorms.
