Tree Molds Trail Geology Hike

Craters of the Moon National Monument was established in 1924 to protect its “weird and scenic” volcanic landscape. Doug Owen, who worked as a Park Ranger, Park Geologist, and Education Specialist for 19 years at Craters of the Moon, will lead a hike to visit and discuss a wide variety of geologic features, such as cinder cones, spatter cones, lava tubes, and block, a’a and phoehoe lava. This approximately four-mile hike will include some off-trail hiking on uneven ground.  

Please check weather conditions and dress appropriately, wear hiking boots or shoes, and bring a lunch, water, and other food and beverages as needed.
