Day 4 - Wednesday 1st June 2016

Today was a travelling day with very little geology. We drove the 420 miles from Pasco to Jerome so that we could have a full day at both the Scablands and the Craters of the Moon. The scenery was good especially as we drove alongside the Columbia River and over some of the hillier parts of the route. And the driving was easy - just rather a lot of it!

Our only stop was at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, near Baker City, Oregon. This was a surprisingly informative stop, being sympathetic to the Indian (sorry Native American) point of view.

Geological and historical background can befound HERE.
