After a long day's drive, we are at Craters of the Moon National Monument near Arco, ID. We are staying in the lava flow campground. Scenery today was mostly sagebrush with the exception of beautiful Bear Lake on the border of Utah/Idaho.

| Sagebrush everywhere |
 |
| This STEEP hill is the steepest runaway truck ramp we've ever seen |
 |
| Mountains before the flats |
 |
| Bear Lake is 20 miles long and 8 miles wide. Known as the Caribbean of the Rockies because of its turquoise water. Formed by fault subsidence. |

| Mormon Tabernacle in Paris, ID |
 |
| First town powered by atomic energy |
 |
| Goes back to 1920. Each class since has written on the mountain. |
 |
| Our campground for the night |
 |
| Eerie and barren |
 |
| No grass here |
 |
| These basalt rocks have very sharp edges |
