We tailored our first big family road trip to our wonderful son, Ewan, who loves volcanoes, science, and nature. What we came up with is a Pacific Northwest and Yellowstone volcanic adventure that was the trip of a lifetime for the whole family.
Perfect family rest stop. Waves, sea creatures, lagoon, rock formations, and sun.
My son Ewan has been drawing volcanoes for years, including making his own "Volcano Edition" Monopoly game. This was a dream come true moment when he saw the crater for the first time.
Excellent ranger talks in full view of the north-facing crater. It was like being part of history.

Sapphire blue waters inside an ancient volcanic caldera! Oh, with a little volcano in the middle.

Well worth the stop. Guided walks describe the history of the ice cave and surrounding area.
Hidden Falls via shuttle boat shortened the hike for our little hikers. Then played lakeside and enjoyed a ranger talk.
