    Tips

    November 26, 2023

    The Wilderness Trail will lead you through a vast lava landscape to Echo Crater. This is a great location to spend the night in the backcountry. The only access into the crater is from the north side. For backcountry hikes and overnight stays, you need to obtain a free-of-charge permit from the Craters of the Moon Visitor Center. You can extend your hike further to the Sentinel where the path ends.
