DAY 18

Arco to Craters of the Moon State Park
This was pretty cool. Began the day by devouring a big pack of coco pops (our appetite has well and truly arrived) before a short stint on the bike brought us to Craters of the Moon, which is basically the site where thousands of years ago a couple of volcanos erupted and the dried lava looks awesome today. While some of the park was closed, we still rode and walked around a fair bit of it. It's a really bizzarre landscape, smooth wave-like lava formations intermingle with jagged rocky sections, with a few tall and spindly formations here and there: very moonlike. We watched the sun set over the moon from atop one of the volcanoes itself. Yes, that's right, re-read that last sentence again.
