Before we got to the park we had lunch at the Pickle Place in Arco which has a very large rocking chair out front.
Arco also has a submarine memorial which includes the sail from the Hawkbill. Kyle wanted his picture taken as soon as he saw the boats number was "666".
Arco, population 400 or so, is clearly a random kind of place. But on to the park.
These are a series of spatter cone volcanoes.
This is a closeup of part of one of the spatter cones.
There are pines in the park that are infected with mistletoe. The mistletoe causes the excessive growth and branching called witches broom.
Some lichen that is trying to turn the park into dirt.
This is a section of Big Crater, which is a cinder cone. It's like climbing a mountain of foamed glass. Falling down is not recommended.
We didn't bring flashlights so we weren't able to go through the lava tubes. Morgan wants to go back this weekend to remedy that. Kyle is too cool to say that he liked it and wants to go back as well, but he does. So there will probably be another trip to the moon in the near future.

That looks pretty cool. I think we've driven by there but never stopped. We'll have to stop next time.
