    Tips

    The Big Craters are part of the 3.5-mile (in and out) North Crater Trail. Follow the trail to get to the North Crater that you will hike into. Big Craters is actually a cinder cone complex. It is made up of nine separate vents and some of the smaller vents sit inside of larger ones. This is also the source of one of the most recent eruptions at Craters of the Moon National Monument.
