The drive along Highway 75 from Redfish Lake to Craters of the Moon is really pretty. There are lots of National Forest campgrounds, picnic areas and pull outs along the Salmon River. There’s also thermal springs, snow-capped mountains and lava beds.

Once we set up camp at Craters of the Moon we pulled out the bikes and rode the 7-mile Loop Road stopping along the way to see the sights and the spectacular wildflower displays. We’re finding that the bikes allow us to see a park much more quickly and more closely than even driving a car around. The bikes perform really well on the hills and they are holding a charge much longer than we expected.
