First off, I would just like to say that Craters of the Moon is *still technically active*- they’re expecting it’ll probably erupt in the next 100 years or so, based off its past eruptive cycle.

As for my favorite odd place, nothing beats the Channeled Scablands in Eastern Washington- it’s the result of catastrophic megafloods after the ice dam on Glacial Lake Missoula failed and sent a wall of water 800 feet high move with the force of a firehose coursing over the landscape. The terrain is unreal, especially if viewed from air.

Also, the Titan II Missile Silo Museum outside of Pima, AZ is similarily disturbing to the Minuteman one.
