Craters of the Moon National Monument - Idaho

1924-1999

Welcome to the Monument! If you asked any of the 16 superintendents who served at Craters of the Moon over the last 75 years what parks they enjoyed most during their careers, I am sure this one would be near the top of every list. Even among all the national park sites that preserve our nation's most noteworthy natural, cultural, and scenic areas, Craters of the Moon is a very special place. I invite you to visit the park in 1999 and create your own personal experiences and memories of what early visitors described as a "weird and scenic landscape peculiar to itself." Have a safe, enjoyable, and interesting visit. - James A. Morris, Superintendent Craters of the Moon National Monument Thanks to the generous support of the 225,000 visitors who stop to explore Craters of the Moon each year, the Natural History Association has been able to donate a total of $300,000 to the National Park Service to sponsor a variety of educational programs. Celebrating its own 40th Anniversary, the Association hopes you have an opportunity to enjoy the monument in this very special year. - Leroy Lewis, Chairman of the Board Craters of the Moon Natural History Association
