Craters of the Moon ala New Zealand










I've never been to Idaho's version of Craters of the Moon, but now I can say I've made a lunar landing in New Zealand. Our day in Taupo included a 45-minute walk among a good assortment of steam vents, bubbling craters, boiling mud pools, and colorful soils. From my point of view, you can never see enough mud pots.

  2. This place really reminded me of Jurassic Park or something... very prehistoric with steam rising in plumes all around us.
