Experience the magic of this geothermal landscape on a self-guided walk along the trail at Craters of the Moon.
Take in the incredible sights of the bubbling mud pools and steaming craters as you walk through this other-worldly landscape.
Our well-maintained tracks are easy to follow and suitable for most people, the main walkway will take you on a 40-minute leisurely stroll through the valley and the optional 20-minute upper walkway will take you up the steps for fantastic views from the lookout.
Take your time, stop for photos and enjoy at your own pace.
Loop Track - Suitable for pushchairs. Wheelchairs are permitted but some areas of the path are more difficult to navigate than others. The path is mostly boardwalk but it is recommended that you have a person to assist in areas where there is a gravel path.
Upper Walkway - A moderate walk with multiple steps (totally worth it), not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Chaque recoin de Craters of the Moon est fascinant, allant d'une piscine de boue à un cratère géant multicolore, en passant par une cheminée de gaz bruyante et des buissons survivants aux conditions locales. Staff au top, prix super abordable, ça vaut le détour !
Thanks for visiting
There were only a few people there with me at 10 in the morning. I liked the view and the possibility to walk 15 minutes extra to see more. I would recommend it, especially with kinds.
Slightly different landscape to other parks we visited. Easy walk for the most part but hot ! One very steep path to a great view from the top is optional. Good value for the price.
Excellent morning walk around history of our country
