Idaho Craters of the Moon National Monumento

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is a national monument and national preserve located in the Snake River Plain in central Idaho, U.S.A.
If you take a deep look, you'll find out that this place really looks a like the moon in the sky, just like its name. But don't get it wrong cause actually this place is shaped by volcano erupted. The rafted crater wall fragments seen on the flow were once part of this cinder cone but were torn away when the volcano's lava-filled crater was breached.

The Monument and Preserve encompass three major lava fields and about 400 square miles of sagebrush steppe grasslands to cover a total area of 1,117 square miles . All three lava fields lie along the Great Rift of Idaho, with some of the best examples of open rift cracks in the world. There are excellent examples of almost every variety of basaltic lava as well as tree molds (cavities left by lava-incinerated trees), lava tubes (a type of cave), and many other volcanic features
