What you'll see 🌄 Big views

An excellent introduction to the Craters of the Moon landscape, an easy, paved 0.3 mi (0.5 km) loop winds through a pahoehoe lava flow that spilled from the North Crater vent about 2,100 years ago. For your safety and in order to protect this sensitive area, off-trail travel is not permitted. This raised boardwalk is wheelchair accessible. The trail is one-way and begins at the left side of the parking area. Caution should be used as the distance between the boardwalk and the ground exceeds 4 feet in some places. Corresponds to #2 on the park brochure map.
