Craters of the Moon National Wilderness Area is described as a "weird and scenic landscape". It was established in 1924 to preserve the unique volcanic features of this lava field. The 750,000-acre monument contains a diverse array of volcanic features including volcanic rifts, cinder cones, spatter cones, shield volcanoes and lava tubes (caves). A surprising number of plants and animals have adapted to live in the harsh volcanic and high desert environment. It is an excellent site for bird watching, photography, backpacking and caving. The monument is jointly managed by the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management. Summer activities include guided cave walks and evening programs at the campground. Winter activities include Winter Ecology Workshops.
