Hike to Spatter Cones & Snow Cone, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho
Like Yellowstone's Old Faithful, the spatter cone chain at Craters of the Moon best symbolizes the essence of this special place. Created during a dwindling stage of an eruption, the spatter cones formed as hot lumps of lava were thrown a short distance into the air only to fall back to earth around a small central vent. As the still molten blobs landed on top of each other, they cooled and adhered to nearby pieces to form the walls of what could be considered a mini-volcano.
The Snow Cone portion of the Spatter Cones Trail is fully accessible.
