(Prepared by the National Q*o*ra&hlc
Society. Washington. D. C.)
N THE West the terns “Lava Beds
of Idaho” has alwfeys slgnttted a
region to be shunned by even the*
most venturesome travelers—a
land supposedly barren of vegetation,
destitute of water, devoid of animal
life, and lacking In scenic Interest.
In reality the region has slight re
semblance to Its Imagined aspect. Its
vegetation Is mostly hidden In pockets,
but when found consists of pines,
cedars. Junipers, and sagebrush; Its
water is hidden deep in tanks or holes
at the bottom of large “blow-outs” and
Is found only by following old Indian
or mountain sheep trails or by watch
ing the flight of birds as they drop
Into these places to quench their
thirst The animal life consists prin
cipally _0f ifrUfrtiPt birds, rock jaldtlu,
woodchucks, blsck- and grbsrty bears r
Its scenery is Impressive in Its
grandeur.
A glance at a map of Idaho shows
that the southern part of the state,
lying between Arco and Carey and
north of Minidoka, la a vast region
labeled desert or rolling plateau. This
region la about 100 miles southwest of
Yellowstone park.
Although almost totally unknown at
present, this section la destined some
day to attract tourists from all Amer
ica, for its lava flows are as Interest
ing as those of Vesuvius, Mauna Lou
or Kilauea. Part of U has recently
been made Into the craters of the
Moon National monument..
The district consists of some 03 vol
canic craters, lava, and cinder conea.
all at present extinct or dormant. The
largest and most conspicuous la OtM
feet high, rising In the midst of a belt
of craters two or three miles wide and
30 miles long. The craters or cones
Are close together In the north and
west; in the south they are miles
apart.
Among ths Cratsrs.
In entering frpra' Minidoka one of
the first major landmarks encountered
la Big Dame. A few hundred yards
north of it la a crater several hundred
yards in diameter and about 2U0 feet
deep. The bottom of this crater was
atHlsed as a camping site by a recent
exploration party. They found them
selves In a gigantic funnel, whose
Cloplfig sides of red andTblack formed
w«4rd surroundings in the reflections
•f the campfire. A peculiar feature
of the bofcotnt of the craters wa* that
they seemed to- auUMandtog board** f

northward far overhead. Their faint
rails are gathered and intensified until
the birds seem only a few feet away.
Half a mile east of Big Dome is an
Immense crater ring that looks as If
the top of a mountain had collapsed
and fallen back into the volcanic
throat. From the center, crags of
bright-red lava and burned cinders Jut
up. la some places the lava is black,
as If smoked in a fire.
The crags have magnetic properties,
and the compass needle cannot be de
pended upon when near them. About
a quarter mile to the northwest is a
large fissure, which was named Ver
milion canyon. The floor, a hundred
or more feet in width, Is composed of
cinders; the walls of lava are a bright,
almost a vermilion, red in the sun
light '
Flfteeh feet south of this Is a. hol
low cone, built up 4 or 5 feet. One
tide baa fallen In, exposing the throat,
*hlch goes down 25 feet and then
angles off. An unknown depth. Fifty
feet t* the north it another cone,
about 4 feet high and 2ft feet in di
ameter at the base. This has a 6-lnch
hole In'one side, which opens up as it
gaps dawn.
Not far away la another crater sim
ilar to the one«already described but
having interesting variations. From
Its rim one sees below a hundred or
more large lava blisters or bobbles.
In many Instances the tops have fall
en in, disclosing rooms from 8 to 10
feet across aqd as high as 6 or 7 feet.,
toe shells of tbeee lava bobbles are
from 6 to 8 inches thick. Their color
Is a grayish brown.
West of the crater beside Babble
Basin art channels winding through
the lavs flat Just as meandering
brooks might cross* a level meadow,
examination showed these to be lava
(utters. Hera the plastic lava had
lowed down grade, assuming all ths
shapes of a mountain stream.. It
k wavua, rolls, twists, and levels.
An Old Fumaroie or Sputter Cone.
Ten miles to the northwest, beyond
buttes and lava beds, lies Echo Cra
ter, one of the moat beautiful la the
region. It is 700 feet deep and la one
of tbe few craters having a growth of
timber on Its sides and bottom. The
dark green of the pines and cedara
emphasizes the vivid coloring common
to these craters.
Beautiful loo Cava.
About a quarter of a mile east of
Echo Crater la Ice cave. There la
rush of cold air from the entrance.
Tbe cause is Immediately apparent.
The floor Is a conglomerate mass of
huge lava blocks.' These and the walls
are incrusted In water, with about
inches of ice as clear as glass, through
which the structure of tbe rock can
easily be seen.
Hanging frum the celling are many
tow- sttttectttes, some 4"to 1 8 incliwi ln'
diameter at the base and from 3 to 8
feet long. In places, especially where
there la a ridge in the ceiling, they
are In closely packed clusters.
East of Oho Crater a lava flow
some 20 nitlvg wide exteuds to tbe
east. Most of the flow has a pahoehoe
surface (a word borrowed from the
llawaiians and used to distinguish a
smooth, ropy flow from the rough, brok
en-up, Ice-Jam formatl«»n which tbe is
landers dub the “AA" flow). In places
there are ridge after ridge and fold
upon fold, with crevasses and cracks;
again, there are huge folds snd waves,
as If some one had crumpled a heavy
blanket.
About four miles from Echo Crater
In this formation Is a lava stalactite i
cave. Each stalactite, from 2 to 7
Inchei long, is covered with green
moss.
Further east la a natural bridge of
lava arching a point where two cliffs
of lava narrowed down. It has a 50-
foot span, and from the floor to the
roof of the arch Is 15 or 18 feet Its
width Is 75 feet. There Is a pine tree
growing under the east entrance. East
of the bridge la a cavern' that has betn
named Amphitheater Cave. It la a
room some 40 feet wide and 00 feet
long, with a domed ceiling 20 feet
high.
One of the best vantage points In
the craters of the Moon country Is
t Big Cinder Butte, about 22 miles south
I of the town of Arco, and within five
miles of the highway frem Carey to
! Yellowstone park. From the summit
one looks over numerous crater* and
.flows and tW-ethse features
up the weir?!’ region.’ To tbe north
i are 1 many sputter conea and the
| shadowy outlines of huge craters.
’ Two miles northwest Is a row of sev
en lava sputter cones caused by mol
ten lava which had been thrown out
of a vent, piling up to a height of 00
| feet.
Cobalt Blue Lava Flow.
Stretching to the southwest for a
i distance of about 11 miles Is one of
the most remarkable lava flows In the
world. Its color Is a deep cobalt blue,
! with generally a high gloss, as If the
{ flow had been given a coat of blue
> varnish. The surface Is netted and
] veined with small cracks, having the
| appearance of the scales of some pre-
1 historic reptile. It has been named
{ the Blue Dragon Flow. It merits the
[name, as in many places it has bant
{through the crevasse of an older flow,
! and the ropy twists of blue lava,
spreading out In branches, together
t with Its scaled surface, need bat a lit-
|tle stretch of Imagination to suggest
, the claws and legs of a dragon.
It is the play of light at' sunset
across this lava that chan&s the spec
tator. It becomes a twisted, wavy
sea. In the moonlight Its glased sar-
' face has a silvery sheen. Wlth chang-
; tng conditions of light and air. It rth
ries also, even while one stands aad
! watches. It Is a place ef color aad
j silence, broken only by the wall of tin
i coyote and chirp of the rock coaqr.
