Going to the Moon! - Labor Day weekend 2014

Yeah, I'm not kidding! I'm planning a trip to Craters of the Moon National Monument (in Idaho), probably a 4-day trip. It is a volcanic landscape of lava flows, rifts, and small craters. And, yes, there is an Idaho Hot Spring on the route (Wild Rose HS, very soakable from everything I have read).

In the spirit of Pink Floyd, we are going to the "backside of the Moon" -- that is, the dirt roads, jeep trails, and other remote locations that are located on the less-commonly visited side of this national monument.

Trip is dependent on it being cool enough temperatures at the end of August / beginning of September. If it doesn't work out we will reschedule probably for early November when there may well be snow on the route...!

This trip is listed and coordinated through the SLC Bicycle Touring and Bikepacking Meet up group (see my signature). It is limited to 6 participants; we'll probably end up riding in a couple different clumps (faster / slower) if we are more than 4-5. We don't go super-fast or far, but we go some great places and have WONDERFUL adventures.

There will be a mandatory advance trip planning meeting for everyone who is going. Anyone from outside the SLC area can participate via internet/screen share and phone. If you're interested, join the Meet-up group (it's free) to see the details.
