St. Anthony Sand Dunes and Craters of the Moon-July 7,2010

We joined up with our friends Roy and Carolyn Trout again for a trip to the St. Anthony Sand Dunes and Craters of the Moom national Monument and Preserve in Idaho.

We didn't have four wheelers or dune buggies, although that would have been fun, but we uust stopped by St. Anthony Sand Dunes to check it out.

                       We seen this pasture of sheep and had to get out to take a few pictures.

Aren't they cute!

Off to Craters of the Moon, a very interesting place. It was formed by lava from volcanoes. It is called Craters of the Moon because the rugged terrain is much like on the moon. Astronauts have trained here because of the terrian.

                                                 There were pretty flowers all around...

This is a big ash hill that had a path ot the top. Randy, Roy and Carolyn stayed at the bottom while I climbed to the top. It is steeper than it looks!

                                                 The view from the top was awesome!
