Devil's Orchard at Craters of the Moon

from $75.00

Horizontal orientation. Canvas prints are available with optional barnwood or hardwood floating frames hand-crafted by the photographer, making a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please see images for details.

Craters of the Moon National Monument in Central Idaho is a massive volcanic area where cinder cones and lava flows create a beautiful and unique landscape. I drove an hour and a half from Twin Falls early on a June morning and arrived before sunrise. I first explored the Devil's Orchard area, which has a short nature/walking trail that I followed while the sunrise colors were appearing on the horizon. It was still a bit too dark to see the landscape, and as I was hiking with my headlamp, I was focused on things closer to my view. This old tree was the first thing that caught my attention, with its wildly creepy branches flying in every direction. My first thought was that whoever named this area the Devil’s Orchard must have been looking at this tree! With the sunrise colors in the background, this was an absolutely must shoot subject for the foreground! It was still too dark to see the flowers and vegetation, but the camera was able to capture some of it. This is one of my favorite images from the trip, and I count myself lucky to have been right there during the sunrise!
