BIG CRATERS from the SPATTER CONES
.5 mi/.8 km -- strenuous --


 A paved path leads steeply uphill from the parking lot to the crater rim, the best place on the Loop Drive to see the craters for which the park is named. This hike is an excellent alternative for those not wishing to hike all the way from the North Crater Flow parking lot.
