We wanted to explore Centennial Valley but the Red Rock Pass Road was sloppy mud according to a camper who barely made it out. Also, the host said that their winter weather was a month early. We returned to Arco, fueled up, then headed south on the Arco to Minidoka Road. It started out innocently enough as a graded gravel road but about 10 miles in turned to the worst road we have been on. Sure, the Craters of the Moon park ranger said it was passable. Hah! Huge mud wallers, exposed lava, narrow, rutted, just a mess. 62 miles/7 hours of never again. Spent the night at another paved campground as none around, Lake Walcott State Park which had some beautiful old trees.
