We started our trip by heading East from Boise toward Craters of the Moon National Monument.
We took a short hike in Craters of the Moon over the old lava flows.
Yellowstone National Park has so many beautiful sights! Geysers, boiling mud pots, colorful springs, steam vents, forests, waterfalls, terraces, bison and coyotes and pika and gorgeous mountain views!

Lots of these gorgeous clear blue pools along many of the hikes in the Park. The most colorful being Morning Glory Pool.

Dad met us in Boise this September and we took him on a road trip around the historic towns and hot springs of Eastern Idaho as well as Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks. Our trip included a wide variety of scenery from the volcanic rocks at Craters of the Moon, to the jagged granite peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley and all the deserts, forests, canyons, ranches and historic gold mining towns in between. We saw coyotes, bison and a black bear, waterfalls, geysers, steam vents as well as cowboy hat shops and a hot air balloon. My favorite was the stargazing in Yellowstone, the authentic Thai in Driggs and the hot springs outside of Challis.
