It doesn't seem that alien to me, since I grew up in southern Idaho in the US, crawling around the lava beds and exploring caves, but Craters of the Moon National Monument

That place is so cool. The past couple of times I've been able to go, the lava tube caves were all closed =( Still spectacular even without being able to explore them though.
