Hiking Cache Crater Overlook

Near Odessa Craters is this short, flat trail to another crater, this one terminating at an overlook.

Like nearby Odessa Craters, this crater is a circular depression in the basalt, likely formed by the Missoula Floods more than 10,000 years ago.

This is a very short trail, so you may want to combine it with nearby Odessa Craters for a little more mileage for your stop.
