Just a heads up Tristan, there is someone going around claiming they are official SUVRVing and trying to get people to message them for a gift from you.
A bit more detailed info on tree molds for those of you who are interested. The trees if alive take a bit to ignite due to their water content. They don't stop the lava. The lava inflates around them as it flows through a forest. Generally, the lava flows faster than trees burn. As the tree's moisture evaporates it dries the tree from the inside out, they also burn from the inside out. Often the outer branches suddenly ignite in one huge burst of flames and just like that only the trunk remains. Depending on the flow, sometimes they slowly burn away, leaving a hole and several feet of vertical lava tree molds. I've seen some 10'+ high. If the flow is short-lived the tree often falls over before burning or rotting away leaving the molds on the ground. I've literally seen the entire process happen in real-time numerous times. It's pretty fascinating. Skylights can form while a tube is active or after it drains. Generally, lava tube ceilings and walls are a series of layers of flows of differing compositions. A'a and pahoehoe. They can be loosely attached and over time the layers begin to peel away leaving debris piles. Craters of the moon is as close as you're going to get to Hawaii Volcanoes Nat Park on the mainland. Definitely worth a visit.
Tristan cracks me up. “This is kinda sketchy!” Also, I love Craters of the Moon! I was there 40 years ago. We hiked to the top of a cinder cone, and had to hurry on down, because a thunderstorm was rolling in. Small hail followed, and it looked so cool, contrasted with the black rock! I have a picture of my small daughter there, holding a big chunk of light weight pumice.
My wife and I appreciate your videos so much. You've really opened up the west for us. So much more to see than the major national and state parks. We love to camp and hike in out-of-the-way places, and will have so many more spots to explore when we retire in a few years. You're doing a great job. Keep it up!
Favorite part: The cave. Thank you for taking the time to put the camera on the other side to get some perspective on the size of the cave. Until you did that, I thought it was small and tight in there. That really opened it up for me. Stay warm stay dry. Till next time. Thank you.
Your Saturday videos have a calming influence on us because they are always educational, informative, entertaining, clean and beautiful. Never have to worry about profanity or other inappropriate content for my kids who also love watching your channel. Thanks a bunch!
Wow lava tubes are incredible. That one felt like a cathedral. I love volcanic zone like lassen, lava tubes, crater lake, mt St. Helens, Yellowstone, etc.
Never heard of tree molds but how unique! Loved the bridge & the cave with it’s beautiful magical green fern garden. It is true that where you find water there you find life. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🌧
That lava cavern was huge! Imagine the quantity of lava that flowed through that tube system. Thankfully, the skylight gave it great lighting and good air quality for safe visiting!
I have traveled Idaho it is my go to place to get centered my moment of Zen. I have been to Craters of the Moon and am amazed at the old lava flows. Most people do not know about the volcanic history. Yes there is more than potatoes in Idaho.
I've been in more than a few lava tubes, including Craters of the Moon, but never one so large as this one. Amazing chamber. Nice job of research. BTW, Paiute Cave in AZ has some unusual pictographs inside. If you haven't done it, you should.
I know a lot of people complain about youtubers filming in national parks and such but for me I'm glad yall do. As I get older I realize I'm not going to get to see many of these places and creator's such as yourself are my avenue to see these great places. Thank you 😊
I’m so glad you did (and are making more) video(s) on southern Idaho! The whole volcanic and geologically active land in this area is precisely what made me fall in love with Southern Idaho, specifically SE Idaho! The high desert and basin and range landscape is a dreamy escape into the Earth’s past. Love it!! On the whole gate problem, I’ve heard similar things in and around Pocatello where private land owners are gating up legal right-of-ways to BlM land. It’s illegal and needs to be brought to the BLM’s attention.
Just want to say that I love your videos, Tristan! I am not really interested in gaining a following necessarily, but you have been a huge inspiration for me to start making videos of my adventures for my future self to enjoy. Thank you!
Another item of interest around CoTM is a segment of the Oregon trail that goes along the base of the mountains, called the Goodale Cutoff. There's not much physical evidence remaining but it's well researched and because the area has never built up, it looks the same as it did in the 1860's. It's not hard to find maps that trace the route around the northern edge of the lava fields and many segments are marked with carsonite posts. You can even drive most of the route from Fort Hall if you got the vehicle for it.
I found a video of yours years ago your voice is so mellow and calm and listen to you every night when I go to sleep and hope one day I can travel to places you’ve been thank you for your videos
Thank you for your videos. I love the way you explain the history and natural features of the places you visit. The way you talk and conduct your videos shows both a humble and knowledgeable personality. I am particularly impressed by how you dare to camp alone in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately I live in Miami too far from your area but I enjoy a lot your work. God bless you and your wife.
My favorite part was the school house. It's in such a scenic spot with the mountains in the background ; it would make a great black and white photograph. Back in 2009 I visited Grand Teton and Yellowstone Natl. Parks. I flew into Salt Lake City and drove through southern Idaho to check out a place called City of Rocks National Preserve. It was a pretty neat place with cool rock formations and stuff. Driving east enroute to Jackson Hole Wyoming I remember passing signs for Craters of the Moon Natl. Monument and thinking it sounds pretty cool. I didn't stop and I totally regret it now.
Like so many of your videos of late my favorite part was the whole freaking thing! Such diverse and unique scenes. I will be taking up an overland lifestyle in the next year and will be following in your footsteps, visiting so many of the places you show us. Thank you for the quality, care and reverence you bring to us and to your adventures.
So good to see so much of the area that isnt Yellowstone, love the cave ferns and lack of crowds and 4 wheelers. Someday, I would love to hike up in the Bitterroots, Idaho is high on my bucket list. Thanks for the videos, I always look forward to them on Saturday morning.
We have visited Craters of the Moon a few times over the years. My wife found a geocache by walking across Sheep Bridge 10 years ago. We weren't sure it would support my weight. One of the many great memories we have of traveling, camping, and geocaching across the U.S.!
Thanks for another great Saturday morning experience of interesting sites. Last time we were at Craters of the Moon there was a ice storm and the roads were closed... So will have to check it out again. Also thanks for the link to "Montana’s One-Room Schoolhouses book" we will definitely pick up a copy for this summers travels. - Bill
That was a beautiful cave.. short but sweet.. and those ferns are thousands of years old.. can you imagine what they would look like if people hadn't stomped all over them like idiots.. Nice to see what Idaho is made of.. Thanks for the tour💖💖💖
Liked how you first showed us the ferns circle, then entered the room giving it a surprisingly big perspective. Was amazed by its actual overall size, cool.
When we drove thru that part of Idaho on a windy day, we were driving thru a valley with cliffs on the side, and the creeks were flowing off the top of the cliffs and blowing UP back onto cliff level rather than falling. That was fun to see.
I love your videos. I keep them on in the background when I am working. Your voice is so soothing, and you point out the coolest places that people usually won't go to or think of. Thank You.
I did a shorter, similar trip with a buddy of mine from Ontario OR a couple years ago. We did Crater's of the Moon, Teakettle Cave (and Deadhorse Cave right next to it where the Odd Fellows used to hold meetings). From there we went to Bruneau Dunes, which is another under-rated site. Thanks for sharing your adventures. EDIT: When we were at Teakettle Cave there was a raven that had a nest midway up the wall. Having that guy flying out of the cave as we approached added to the other-worldly ambiance.
Just what I needed after a long stress filled day. Something peaceful and remote! Loved the cave. You do a great job finding places to share with us. Thanks.
Really interesting adventure 😀☺️. The used to be trees are incredible. Am certain I'd not be jumping on the sheep bridge . Still have not been to Craters. Love City of Rocks. Still need Bruneau Dunes. Thanks again.👍👍🤗😳🎶.
Wonderful video& your sharing the Tree molds: fantastic. Reminds me of a small area in South west Texas below Loredo. There area there of remnants of small petrified forest. It's isolated on big ranch country. Use to see it working cattle & hunting. I enjoy your focus on the lands & scene around you. Thanks.
Another good adventure, even if the weather was not. I was hoping you were headed to City of Rocks which is one of my favorite western spots. My wife and I and many a friend climbed there often back in the early 90's when you could still have the place to yourself. Great climbing, as you surely know, but also so much cool history with the Oregon Trail (?) passing through. Always a pleasure, your videos! Looking forward to the next one.
This is another good one, Tristan. Most travelers on I-84 look off to either side and think this is the worst drive I've ever been on. What they don't realize is from there all the way north to Canada has some of the most scenic and wildest mountains in the west. And it's called the Whitewater state for the paddlers out there, many rivers. Thanks for what you do.
Well you never fail to amaze, once again a great video of some very interesting places, the areas you visited were all great and showcased the beauty of that area. Thank you.
I loved the whole video. I know the weather messed up your plans but there's just something so beautiful about that kind of weather in the high desert. Thanks Tristan 🥰
Craters of the Moon, what an awesome "out of this world" place to visit! I've been there several times too and it never gets old. Crunch, crunch, crunch, LOL! 😂
I was a Craters of The Moon in the 1980's. There was a small cave where the outside temperature radiating off the black rock was upward of a 100 degrees but just at the entrance of the cave was all ice. Such extremes.
Thanks Tristan, this is perfect as we are planning to visit southern Idaho mid-June between Grand Teton NP and Arches NP. Enjoyed the Tree Mold Trail is being added to our Craters visit. Looking forward to Tuesday’s video. Stay safe!
The lava tube was absolutely amazing. Love your videos. Looking forward to the next one. If you ever get to Southeast Washington, the Hanford Reach National Monument might be worth your time. There are two trails: the North Slope and the South Slope. Spring is a good time to see this National Monument. Kayaking and hiking is available. Good views of the only area left in the U.S. where the Columbia River runs naturally. Lots of wildlife. On the other side of the river, their are some mothballed reactors on the Hanford Site that was used to build atomic bombs during World War II and the Cold War era. Near Vantage, there is a place called Frenchman Coulee that is interesting for climbers. Nothing strenuous, but interesting. It provides a nice view of the columnar basalt and a seasonal waterfall.
Gorgeous cave Tristan. That was my favorite of the video, but I also loved the Craters of the moon hike and the drone footage while you were driving was cool! Loving your content! Looking forward to the rest of your videos.
Wow, I wondered initially what the Tree Mold track meant?? then you explained and showed us. Here in Australia I have never heard of that. I think cos we don't have any active volcano's or Had many in the past, maybe some of these types of trees exist however I've never heard of them. It is just so fascinating. I love watching you videos and adventures. I learn so much, US has such fascinating types of terrain. Thanks again. Vicki
Those tree molds remind me of the Petrified Forest..but those molds are of the tree and the petrified trees are actual trees I believe...very cool. I really enjoy the caves...my favorite thing when I was more agile.. Thanks for sharing Tristan!
Well done! Another eloquent, informative, educational documentary. Shame you can't be sponsored by the National Tourism Association. You are actually helping Tourism in these counties that you explore. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking us along!
👍 Not your average Yellowstone adventure. I have extensively traveled forty-nine states, but your videos have taken me to places that I would never have discovered myself. In many ways, these sites are more interesting than the heavily trodden destinations in tourist guides. Thank you, and please keep them coming.
Excellent video again, Tristan. The fairy circle was very cool, as were the pictographs last week. I bet Noraly Itchy Boots would like this channel, too. Maybe she'll sub.. Happy Trails!
Next time you're in AZ there is a sheep bridge on the Verde River north of Scottsdale. It was from the 40s and was rebuilt about 20 years ago. There are videos on you tube of you search.
When COVID happened, we headed up to Idaho for vacation. I really enjoyed it up there. Tea Kettle Cave was amazing. I'll have to stop by and see it the next time I'm in that area.
wow…that lava tube was incredible! sorry the weather messed up your plans. hate that vid got cut shirt, but certainly understandable….see yiu next week, Tristan! safe travels
I was trying to explore central Oregon the week you filmed this and the weather skunked me out as well. We probably crossed paths as I blasted my way back to Utah last week. Spring needs to sprung again!
Another smooth Saturday morning viewing and thanks for sharing. You've probably been to both of these spots in the general area, but thought I'd mention them anyway; Edie School (another old one room school house) up Medicine Lodge Road which is a really nice drive and Black Magic Canyon of Big Wood River near where you just visited. You may have already had a video of that amazing canyon at some point. Seasonal to get in and I'm sure they've turned the water back into it now for agriculture. Keep the videos coming, always looking forward to what's next. Happy trails.
Thanks for watching! Tune in again on Tuesday morning, when I've got a special mid-week video coming that I think you guys will really like! -Tristan
great very interesting!
How really beautiful. How long was the hike to that huge volcanic room?

That area where the bridge is found is incredibly gorgeous. Wow!

WOW, I can't image sheep on that bridge, it reminds me of the Dewey Bridge outside Moab...or what was the Dewey Bridge. So cool Tristan!!
Excellent tour. Another great example of a quiet place to visit. Thanks Tristan! 🌲🌲🌲
I didn't know southern Idaho had high desert terrain! the cave with the ferns was spectacular, mother nature mind blowing
Oh my goodness that cave with the fern circle … totally magical! ❤️
I found a video of yours years ago your voice is so mellow and calm and listen to you every night when I go to sleep and hope one day I can travel to places you’ve been thank you for your videos

Ive been in lava caves before but the size of that cavern was amazing.
My Husband & I love watching your videos. We feel like we're along with you. Thanks!
What an incredible cave! The rain 🌧 coming onto the ferns was a plus!
When we drove thru that part of Idaho on a windy day, we were driving thru a valley with cliffs on the side, and the creeks were flowing off the top of the cliffs and blowing UP back onto cliff level rather than falling. That was fun to see.
I love your videos. I keep them on in the background when I am working. Your voice is so soothing, and you point out the coolest places that people usually won't go to or think of. Thank You.
If you can go back at the end of May, the first week of June, the wildflowers will be in bloom and it’s absolutely beautiful.

"This is just a stick." Easily the best line

Really interesting adventure 😀☺️. The used to be trees are incredible. Am certain I'd not be jumping on the sheep bridge . Still have not been to Craters. Love City of Rocks. Still need Bruneau Dunes. Thanks again.👍👍🤗😳🎶.
The Snake River Plain, a.k.a. the Spud Belt. But a VERY cool lava tube.
Wonderful video& your sharing the Tree molds: fantastic.
Reminds me of a small area in South west Texas below Loredo. There area there of remnants of small petrified forest. It's isolated on big ranch country. Use to see it working cattle & hunting.
I enjoy your focus on the lands & scene around you. Thanks.
fav part - skylight in the cave with the ferns. That was fantastic !!!
Really appreciated your pics while in the cave and the fern circle. Had no idea of how big it was until you standing there. WOW
That’s so cool to see those tree fossils

Mt. Pisgah in So. Cal. has lots of lava tubes. It's near Newbury Springs.
I liked all of the video. The tree imprints and the cave and the schoolhouse were the highlights. Thanks Tristan!
Spring is a long way off... beautiful cave, thanx for sharing that one.
Craters of the Moon, what an awesome "out of this world" place to visit! I've been there several times too and it never gets old. Crunch, crunch, crunch, LOL! 😂

We stopped at Craters of the Moon last summer. What a treat that was. Enjoyed that last cave.
Those tree molds remind me of the Petrified Forest..but those molds are of the tree and the petrified trees are actual trees I believe...very cool. I really enjoy the caves...my favorite thing when I was more agile.. Thanks for sharing Tristan!
I always watch for your new releases. I really enjoyed the tree molds. I have always loved the west and you bring it to life.
My favorite part was the cave with the sky light. Thanks for showing this
Favorite part: The cave. That's wonderful!
Well done!
Another eloquent, informative, educational documentary. Shame you can't be sponsored by the National Tourism Association. You are actually helping Tourism in these counties that you explore.
Keep up the good work and thanks for taking us along!
I’m thinking....”you’re nuts to be jumping up and down on that old rickety bridge!!!” Lol
The cave was spectacular. It does seem other worldly. The tree molds seemed to me like they made a valent effort. Thanks so much.
Oculus. This was one of your finest videos. Put us there in that magical place.
I loved the bark imprints and the old school house but the cave was amazing! It's was like a journey to the center of the earth type scene.
The trees that left the lava patterns are amazing, as well as the cave. Thanks for taking us along.
That cave is magical. Wow....
Favorite part: The cave with the fern circle. I could imagine an ancient people gathering there.
Loved that Grotto! How cool was that? Thanks for another great video.
👍 Not your average Yellowstone adventure. I have extensively traveled forty-nine states, but your videos have taken me to places that I would never have discovered myself. In many ways, these sites are more interesting than the heavily trodden destinations in tourist guides. Thank you, and please keep them coming.
Thanks (from Ohio) for all the hard work. I really look forward to your posts on Saturday mornings.
17:43 looks like you are auditioning as a reporter for The Weather Channel
Excellent video again, Tristan. The fairy circle was very cool, as were the pictographs last week. I bet Noraly Itchy Boots would like this channel, too. Maybe she'll sub.. Happy Trails!
Beautiful video! I loved the cool cave with the Ferns! Idaho is a cool state! Hope you found a good camping spot out of the wind!🙏😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
ive been though those areas when my dad lived 15 miles south of salmon for several years. nice country
🥰😍🤩😘 Tea kettle cave is so cool.
Loved the cave. The lake looks like a great place to camp. Thanks.
In awe of that magical world!
Went there in 1981 with my grandparents. Nice park.
This is so cool. Love the cave…
You sure do take us to little know, out of the way places, that are very interesting. Thank you.
I’m always sharing you with other people. What you do is interesting
Craters of the Moon is so cool. A must see. I loved it!
Next time you're in AZ there is a sheep bridge on the Verde River north of Scottsdale. It was from the 40s and was rebuilt about 20 years ago. There are videos on you tube of you search.
When COVID happened, we headed up to Idaho for vacation. I really enjoyed it up there. Tea Kettle Cave was amazing. I'll have to stop by and see it the next time I'm in that area.

I was trying to explore central Oregon the week you filmed this and the weather skunked me out as well. We probably crossed paths as I blasted my way back to Utah last week. Spring needs to sprung again!
That 'Parthenon' type cave reminds me of the Homestead Crater in Midway, Ut minus the hot water.
enjoyed cave and fern garden - appreciate your exploring
We have cinder cones and lava tubes near Cedar City. Snow Canyon and Mammoth Caves are open. I love the cave with the hole in the roof.
Thank you. Pass the gift on to someone who can use it.
That lava cave would make a great campsite.
Another smooth Saturday morning viewing and thanks for sharing. You've probably been to both of these spots in the general area, but thought I'd mention them anyway; Edie School (another old one room school house) up Medicine Lodge Road which is a really nice drive and Black Magic Canyon of Big Wood River near where you just visited. You may have already had a video of that amazing canyon at some point. Seasonal to get in and I'm sure they've turned the water back into it now for agriculture. Keep the videos coming, always looking forward to what's next. Happy trails.
