Craters of the Moon

The most common complaint I hear when people come to visit is Craters of the Moon. I've been a few times and agree. Craters is my definition of a tourist trap.

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden and Idaho Native Plant Society will host a wildflower walk on Saturday at Craters of the Moon.
