We were following Goodale's Cutoff (1820, cutoff from the
Oregon Trail) that was a northerly route that ran through
a part of what is now Craters of the Moon Monument |
 |
Craters of the Moon Robert Limbert Visitor Center
(1955-1956, as part of the Mission 66 modern style) |

A vast "ocean" of lava flows were said to resemble the craters of the moon,
like here at the North Crater Flow |
