I spent a day on my most recent road trip in central New Mexico exploring the petroglyphs and remains of cultures long past. It was incredible to be in the presence of so many forms of human creativity and ingenuity from people centuries ago. And all of this in such harsh, unforgiving conditions.

Craters of the Moon
I’ve had Craters of the Moon National Monument on my list to visit for a very long time. It’s not really on the way to or near much of anything in central Idaho - a state I had never been to before. So I was excited to finally be there and the parks employee at the gate seemed just as excited that I had made it.
The pictures I took (and the ones I had seen over the years) really don’t do the landscape justice. It really is otherworldly. Crispy, dark lava soils are everywhere with little patches of pure white flowers that somehow grow and thrive in spaced-out harmony. The climb up the steep, all-black Inferno Cone is far more daunting than I had imagined, but worth the effort.
Enjoy the pictures - but go see it for yourself.
