Revisit to Jordan Craters

Glenn and Eric got their Antelope cut, wrapped and frozen and decided to stay another day to make a road trip to Jordan Craters. I decided to do the full thing, so we started at Charbonneau's grave site and took a side trip to the Cow Lakes campground through the lava fields, then on to the Jordan Craters road. I wanted them to get the full perspective of the Lava Flow.

After we got on to the Jordan Craters road we began to see lots of Antelope hunters that had not been as lucky as Glenn and Eric.

Eventually we arrived at our destination- Jordan Craters.
The eruption is reputed to have occurred some 2500 years ago and it was so
 determined by examining the lichen on the side of the rocks. 


You can see it on the cliff face across the way.



There have been two areas where the feeder tubes have collapsed. 







They are quite big and scary.



These are some of the smaller feeder tubes that broke.


Quite interesting, but getting a decent picture that portrays what
it actually looks like in person is a bit beyond my capabilities.


In spite of all that rock some extremely hardy plants still manage to get a foothold.
The area is worthy of a visit if you get a chance.
