Lava Hot Springs
Two
and a half million gallons of natural, odor free mineral water flow
through these outdoor pools everyday. Ranging in temperature from 105-112
degrees Fahrenheit, the springs feed directly through the gravel bottom
into the soaking pools. Or, enjoy the thrill of 60 foot waterslides, 10
meter diving platforms or a poolside climbing wall at the Olympic Swimming
Complex. Hot Pools and Indoor Swimming Complex open all year round.
Craters of the Moon National Monument
The
Craters of the Moon Lava Field covers 618 square miles and is the largest
young basaltic lava field in the continental United States. The monument
preserves 83 square miles of it for the enjoyment of present and future
generations. The park contains more than 20 volcanic cones including
outstanding examples of spatter cones. There are 60 different lava flows
on the surface, and they range in age from 15,000 to just 2,000 years old.
